While reading that with an eye towards using that information in a
Buildroot port (if you are thinking of doing that)...

I recall that the subject of "stack direction" has come up
here in the past.

I think that the only "stack grows up" cpu that the Linux Kernel
supports is HP, PA-RISC.  Since PA-RISC isn't a Buildroot target,
it should be safe to hard code "stack direction" as "grows down".

It is always possible that has changed, so to be certain, check
the most recent Linux kernel sources.
