This mapping is done via a file <name>.tec. The standard file used is  
tex-text.tec, and it's binary when compiled. The readable file is for  
example /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/misc/xetex/ 
fontmapping/tex-text.map. The contents is described in  
TECkit_Language_2.1.doc.pdf, available only in XeTeX source.
