In L4/x86 and Fiasco, this is easily possible.  Sigma0 runs on user
level and can be substituted at boot time with any program you like.
The resource manager Rmgr (which is normally used to startup L4/x86
and Fiasco) handles the nitty-gritty details of telling the kernel
where it should find its Sigma0 server.
