Axel's kernel is based off the FC3 source, its a trivial change to the FC3 
sources to disabled 4kstacks. Whoever said you couldn't is blatantly wrong. 
Just peep Axel's kernel spec file to see what changes were made.

collisions between the v4l patches in the ATrpms kernel, ivtv and lirc, which 
you're running into (unknown symbol tveeprom_*).

I didn't think it was at all possible to resize the PVR-350 output right now.

Stupid qt bug. Check out the thread "QT 3.3.4 and highlighted buttons".
