Comment (by bgamari):

 I've finally wrapped up the remaining loose ends. This required changes to
 the RTS in addition to a minor change in `base` to account for an
 interface change in `stackOverflow` (`rts/RtsUtils.c`). These can be found
 at,

  * https://github.com/bgamari/ghc/compare/infinite-stack
  * https://github.com/bgamari/packages-base/compare/infinite-stack

 How should we proceed from here? Seeing as all of the changes are fairly
 straightforward, perhaps this could go in for 7.8? I'd be happy to write
 up something for the user manual.
