main means fiasco and l4exec is gone, it's not used any more.

Seems outdated.

That's ok.

Also, the --noirq option for l4io and the --l4io option for dope are
also gone. The -nowait option to Fiasco is also gone, there's a -wait
option now. -comspeed 115200 and -comport 1 are the default, btw.

Ok. I recommend to remove the allow_cli.
