cached_fs_rom on base-linux

[Norman Feske]

Hello Pirmin,

unfortunately not. The cached_fs_component relies on core's RM service
for the on-demand population of (remote) address spaces to enforce
read-only memory mappings at the client side.

Unlike the various microkernels, Linux does not provide an appropriate
mechanism for the remote manipulation of virtual address spaces.

Cheers
Norman
