It's already split.  Just add marking of all stacks in markall.

I hope you know what you're doing.  Delaying gc multiple minutes may
generate a _huge_ heap if Lua is really used.  You have to program
really careful with such long gc-delays (basically you have to avoid
generating temporary objects).  It may be even better to call the gc
every frame to have a pretty short gc-run.
