The 0x00425xxx is right after the end of the bss space in the kernel.  
The startup code allocates the USPACEs/PCBs (kernel stacks) for proc0 
and the "idle" proc and then the interrupt stack in the memory right 
after bss.  See INIT_CPUINFO in <powerpc/asm.h> for specifics.  In your 
case, the 0x00425xxx is the interrupt stack.
