One way of supporting a guard page below kstack: allocate kstacks in

procinit() and map them high up (below TRAMPOLNE) with an empty
mapping below each stack.  Never free a kernel stack.

Another way would be to allocate and map them dynamically, but then we
need to reload page table when switching processes in scheduler()
and/or have a kernel pagetable per proc (if we want k->stack to be the
same virtual address in each process).

One gotcha: kernel addresses are not equal to physical addresses for
stack addresses.  A stack address must be translated if we need its
physical address (e.g., virtio passes a stack address to the disk).
