Ugh, that's hard to parse. You could remove the "!= 0" at least to
shorten it a bit and have one less braces level.
Or maybe even do something like that to make it a bit more readable:
if ((current_stack_pointer() ^ (current_top_of_stack() - 1))
&
~(THREAD_SIZE - 1))
panic("Fatal exception on non-default stack");
Meh.

"Fatal exception on non-default stack"
maybe?
