Since IPC on L4-like kernels usually allows capability/rights
delegation, it is not quite as simple, but when I look at NOVA's IPC
path[1] it roughly fits your description, even with some form of
migrating threads. Check out the original paper[2] and another paper
that describes the design of the IPC system in more detail[3].

That being said, in practice IPC performance is not as important as it
may initially seem.
