L4kproxy::Factory_svr

Hello,

Please find attached a minimal example illustrating a bug in 
Factory_svr. When executing this example the output is something like:

Ned: loading file: 'rom/minimal.lua'
Ned: ERROR: ned.lua:199: could not create process: Insufficient memory 
(: -12)

The problem is in parsing the utcb_area parameter in the 
Factory_hndl::handle_task() method.
A patch could be the attached libkproxy.diff which will make the task 
creation succeed.

I would also like to point out that in my opinion there is no point in 
writing this functionality but never testing or using it (I have been 
unable to find a single client or test using it).

Thanks,
Daniel
