In fact each stack consumes 3 contigous pages because there is also
the guard, which catches the double faults.

You need to use the machine, e.g. to run something that creates and destroys
kernel threads, while doing something that consumes kernel_arena KVA.
Plain malloc/zmalloc is enough.

In other words, any non-static load would cause fragmentation preventing
allocations of the kernel stacks for new threads.

bt command for the given thread provides the backtrace.  I have no idea
how did you obtained the numbers that you show.
