You will need to add your own support code in the kernel and Genode/NOVA
to correlate things.

If you haven't yet a fully high dynamic setup, I would advise to enable
in the kernel the debug output in the beginning of

sys_create_ec
sys_create_pd

and accordingly in Genode add debug output of the names of the process
and thread before all occurrences of

create_ec
create_pd

in repos/base-nova.

With the information you are able to correlate EC and PD pointers in the
kernel with Genode names for the process and threads.

Hope it helps,

Alex.
