Is there any reason to even offer the Kconfig?  It is super cryptic and
just picking the right value directly in the header would seem much
more sensible:

#if defined(CONFIG_PPC_256K_PAGES)
#define MIN_THREAD_SHIFT		15
#elif defined(CONFIG_PPC64)
#define MIN_THREAD_SHIFT		14
#else
#define MIN_THREAD_SHIFT		13
#endif

#ifdef CONFIG_KASAN
#define THREAD_SHIFT		(MIN_THREAD_SHIFT + 1)
#else
#define THREAD_SHIFT		MIN_THREAD_SHIFT
#endif

#if defined(CONFIG_VMAP_STACK) && THREAD_SHIFT < PAGE_SHIFT
#undef THREAD_SHIFT
#define THREAD_SHIFT		PAGE_SHIFT
#endif
