OK, so it actually _is_ enabled.

Right.

Hm. I've been running our tests with it for about three months and
haven't observed any hangs, but I guess that doesn't mean much.

To be honest, I have no particular reason to even want it, other than
that it catches accidental DMA from stack more easily ... so I guess if
we can't find anything, we might as well revert it.

Feels like it _should_ work though, since it's just a different location
for the stack.
