I think your memory is failing you.  In 2.4 and earlier, the kernel
stack was 8kB minus the size of the task_struct, which sat at the
start of the 8kB.  For instance, from include/asm-i386/processor.h for
2.4.29:

but was shared with interrupts; so out of the 6Kb left, you had still really 
only 4Kb for user context stack
