For the sake of those reading this thread, I believe stacks are what is already 
allocated in memory (for execution by the CPU).  The "stack" is commonly 
referred to in C/ASM.  Once the stack is allocated, it is then executed or 
passed-over by the CPU by an additional instruction or instructions.

Did I get this right, or did I fail miserably?
