This looks to be ARMv7M, which is nommu...  I guess what's causing this
is this change in arch/arm/kernel/process.c:

+       /*
+        * Copy the initial value of the domain access control register
+        * from the current thread: thread->addr_limit will have been
+        * copied from the current thread via setup_thread_stack() in
+        * kernel/fork.c
+        */
+       thread->cpu_domain = get_domain();
+

which probably needs to be #ifdef'd out for !MMU.  Can you try adding:

#ifndef CONFIG_MMU
...
#endif

around that please?  Thanks.
