Have you done anything to check what happens at run-time?
I'd guess that the deepest stack use is inside printk() in
some obscure error path.

In reality all these 1k+ stack frames need killing
rather than the limit for the compiler warning increased.

While it may be sensible for a system call entry function
so allocate a reasonable size buffer on stack (as poll()
and sendmsg() probably do) allocating big buffers way
down the call stack could easily cause stack overflow.
Even a 1k stack frame is huge.
