I would like to know how I could do this from sigma0 preferably or even in the fiasco kernel. Could anyone point me to where the clean up procedure (release of resources) occurs once l4linux shuts down?

I fear that Sigma0 does not care about any entry or exit of l4linux. What about doing this in the Moe config script instead? Have a 
look into the x86-fb.cfg example where the exit of a task is caught like this:

e = l:start({ caps = {
	... );
print("ex_fb_spectrum exited with: " .. e:wait());

In addition you could do the housekeeping stuff there.

Martin
