hrm, you may find things related to the Password-Capability system and the Walnut kernel of interest - these systems take this kind of IPC to the extreme :) (ahhh... research OS hw & sw - except you *do not* want to see the walnut source - it makes ppl want to crawl up and cry).
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~rdp/fetch/castro-thesis.ps
and check the Readme.txt at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/courseware/cse4333/rdp-ma terial/ for stuff on Multi and password-capabilities.
interesting stuff, the Castro thesis does do some comparisons to FreeBSD (1.1 amazingly enough) - although the number of real world applications on these systems is minimal (and in the current state impossible - nobody can remember how to get userspace going on Walnut, we may have broken it) and so real-world comparisons just don't really happen these days. Maybe after a rewrite (removing some brain-damage of the original design).
This is all related to my honors work, http://www.flamingspork.com/honors/ although my site needs an update. I'm working on the design and simulation of an improved storage system.
