Latest kernel don't boot with 4KSTACKS not set

[Mike McEwan]

Looks like the Hotmail web interface I used has stripped the blanks from the 
beginning of the context lines - the ones without a '+' or a '-'. Reinsert 
the blanks (one on each line should suffice) and hopefully everything will 
be OK. Alternatively, make your own patch - the patch is only adding three 
lines.

By  "after the 4g4g.patch", I mean applying the '4g4g' patch as normal, 
*not* reversing it.
