Hi! This indeed seems to make rpc work, at least in my tests.

Maybe this should be BOOTSTRAP_STACK_ALIGN or something similar? Just to
differentiate from the alignment set in pcb_module_init(), which is for
the exception stack.

Is the exception stack only used in kernel space? In that case, we could define
KERNEL_STACK_ALIGN and USER_STACK_ALIGN to differentiate between the
two cases. 64 bit user programs always need to have a 16-byte aligned stack when
calling functions (at least gcc expects that).
