[S390] No more 4kb stacks.

We got a stack overflow with a small stack configuration on a 32 bit
system. It just looks like as 4kb isn't enough and too dangerous.
So lets get rid of 4kb stacks on 32 bit.

But one thing I completely dislike about the call trace below is that
just for debugging or tracing purposes sprintf gets called (cio_start_key):

	/* process condition code */
	sprintf(dbf_txt, "ccode:%d", ccode);
	CIO_TRACE_EVENT(4, dbf_txt);

But maybe its just me who thinks that this could be done better.
