Tomas,

To expand on this a little, the build system puts iguana server at the
'base' virtual address and then places every other program at increasing
addresses at 1M intervals.  The 'base' address is just a convenient
address that does not interfere with devices or the physical memory
address range, and can be found by searching for 'base_vaddr' in the
arch/<arch>/tools/machines.py.

The details can be found in the build system function LayoutVirtual(),
but be warned that it's not easiest of functions to understand.
