In 'struct thread' there is td_kstack_pages and td_kstack.  If you grep
for those and see where they are initialized that will lead you to find
in the source what the defaults are for amd64 (and you can also use
those in your kernel module).  Note that some kthreads have a different
sized stack, so using the members in struct thread is probably what you
want to do regardless.
