The author (Jochen Liedtke) of this micro kernel died and almost all trace of the original assembly source has been removed from the web. After searching for several days (really difficult detective work), I was able to find it:

http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/white_papers/incoming/GMD/L4/

The code is older MASM syntax.

There is a wealth of documentation at:
http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/l4x86.html

The L4 concept has been converted to non-x86 assembly, C++, Haskel, and other languages. I'm just beginning my research of it, and I can't find any later versions he developed at IBM (most likely never released). I think the kernel assembles to 12KB, but haven't tested it!

Note: the author made the kernel freely available during his life, but the rights changed upon his death, afaik.
