Hi there,
I found a pretty serious bug in cleanup, shuffle and boot while working
on the new version (3.50).
The 3.50-pre* versions contains an fixed version, plus a wrapper
function to boot Linux with. The wrapper function also takes care of
additional shuffles that might be needed due to address space conflicts.
