runtime: check kernel physical page size during init

Browse Source 
The runtime hard-codes an assumed physical page size. If this is
smaller than the kernel's page size or not a multiple of it, sysUnused
may incorrectly release more memory to the system than intended.

Add a runtime startup check that the runtime's assumed physical page
is compatible with the kernel's physical page size.

For #9993.
