Norman Feske 4e4cdacab3 base: trim main-thread size to 4/8 KiB
The main thread does no longer execute application code. It is solely
responsible for the initialization of the component's entrypoint and for
retrieving asynchronous notifications. Since the stack usage is no
longer dependent on application-specific code, we can significantly
shrink it to reduce the memory footprint of components. In the worst
case - should the stack overrun - we would observe a page fault because
the stack is placed in the stack area, surrounded by guard pages.

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.
