it sounds like the kernel (L4-like, supposedly tuned to the specific
hardware) and the "monitor" (userland, portable) are shared, from
the paper. Btw, they have the source code up for free
(http://www.barrelfish.org/release_20090914.html) which I supposed
could be used to more definitively answer these questions with
some effort...
