I decided to split this from the rest of the Qemu RSS usage series as it contains the more or less non contentious patches.
I omitted the MAP_GROWSDOWN flag in mmap as we are not 100% sure which side effects it has. I kept the guard page which is now nicely makes the stacks visible in smaps. The old version of the relevent patch lacked the MAP_FIXED flag in the second call to mmap. The last patch which reduces the stack size of coroutines to 64kB may be omitted if its found to risky.
