The address is written to the kip by elfweaver, based on the
iguana_server element written by scons into build/weaver.xml and the
corresponding iguana_server ELF file.  Have a look at
add_rootserver_to_kcp() and update_rootserver() in
tools/pyelf/weaver/l4_xml.py if you're interested.

The implementation within elfweaver is a little complex, but the idea
is that we're trying to make it straightforward to specify things in
build/weaver.xml and then everything else Should Just Work.

Jorge> one question: are thread's ip and sp relative positions?

They're absolute addresses.
