Christian Prochaska 2664afbd7d Remove context area from physical RAM allocator
In base-fiasco, base-foc and base-pistachio, physical memory gets mapped
1:1 to core virtual memory. When the 'Ram_session_component' allocates
physical memory for a client, it zeroes out the corresponding area in
core's virtual address space and then maps the area to the client. If this
area overlaps with core's virtual thread context area (usually at
0x40000000-0x4fffffff), the stack of one or more core threads can get
overwritten.

To avoid this problem, with this patch, the thread context area gets
removed from the physical RAM allocator on these platforms.

Fixes #660.
