I don't think the stack is the problem, the same stack is used for both the 
case that works and the one that doesn't!  I only changed the attr.entry 
function pointer, the stack created is independent of which routine is about to 
be called.

Since it switches stacks, __adeos_switch_domain() should probably be
updated to switch the SLB appropriately then.
