Bernd Schmidt eb8cdec4a9 nommu: add support for Memory Protection Units (MPU)
Some architectures (like the Blackfin arch) implement some of the
"simpler" features that one would expect out of a MMU such as memory
protection.

In our case, we actually get read/write/exec protection down to the page
boundary so processes can't stomp on each other let alone the kernel.

There is a performance decrease (which depends greatly on the workload)
however as the hardware/software interaction was not optimized at design
time.
