Custom RTEMS task stack location?

[Gedare Bloom]

The relevant code in the Thread Initialization is at
cpukit/score/src/threadinitialize.c:
 87   /*
 88    *  Allocate and Initialize the stack for this thread.
 89    */
 90   #if !defined(RTEMS_SCORE_THREAD_ENABLE_USER_PROVIDED_STACK_VIA_API)
 91     actual_stack_size = _Thread_Stack_Allocate( the_thread, stack_size
);
 92     if ( !actual_stack_size || actual_stack_size < stack_size )
 93       return false;                     /* stack allocation failed */
 94
 95     stack = the_thread->Start.stack;
 96   #else
 97     if ( !stack_area ) {
 98       actual_stack_size = _Thread_Stack_Allocate( the_thread, stack_size
);
 99       if ( !actual_stack_size || actual_stack_size < stack_size )
100         return false;                     /* stack allocation failed */
101
102       stack = the_thread->Start.stack;
103       the_thread->Start.core_allocated_stack = true;
104     } else {
105       stack = stack_area;
106       actual_stack_size = stack_size;
107       the_thread->Start.core_allocated_stack = false;
108     }
109   #endif
