PATCH 1/1 Don't define large array on local stack.

On nommu arch, local stack size is very limited and can't be enlarged on demand. So, don't define large array on local stack.

Well, this was not a proper patch applicable by git-am. But I amended it and applied. Also I changed the patch a little to make it nicer.

Thank you!
