Norman Feske f081733f4b Linux: remove 'some_mem' array in core
The Linux version of core used a part of the BSS to simulate access to
physical memory. All dataspaces would refer to a portion of 'some_mem'.
So every time when core would access the dataspace content, it would
access its local BSS. For all processes outside of core, dataspaces were
represented as files. This patch removes the distinction between core
and non-core processes. Now, core uses the same 'Rm_session_mmap'
implementation as regular processes. This way, the 'some_mem' could be
abandoned. We still use BSS variable for allocating core-local meta
data through.

README

This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts:

:_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree
  and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources
  such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core
  can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the
  appropriate 'base-<system>' directory.

:_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component
  to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything
  together.
