+Changes in 3.10:
+ * New API function "shuffle and boot"; allows COM32 modules to
+ load or construct (almost) arbitrarily complex objects,
+ e.g. a kernel and its initrd/initramfs in pieces, and have
+ the API core reorganize memory for booting.
+ * The initrd= option now supports multiple filenames separated
+ by commas. This is mostly useful for initramfs, which can
+ be composed of multiple separate cpio or cpio.gz archives.
+ (Note: all files except the last one are zero-padded to a 4K
+ page boundary. This should not affect initramfs.)
* EXTLINUX: Fix API function 000Ah (get derivative-specific
info).
* libcom32/ethersel: Support PCI Config Mechanism #2 on
