lapic [X86-32,APIC] Enable the local APIC even if BIOS
disabled it.
+ lapic= [x86,APIC] "notscdeadline" Do not use TSC deadline
+ value for LAPIC timer one-shot implementation. Default
+ back to the programmable timer unit in the LAPIC.

lapic_timer_c2_ok [X86,APIC] trust the local apic timer
in C2 power state.
mem=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] Force usage of a specific amount of memory
Amount of memory to be used when the kernel is not able
to see the whole system memory or for test.
- [X86-32] Use together with memmap= to avoid physical
- address space collisions. Without memmap= PCI devices
- could be placed at addresses belonging to unused RAM.
+ [X86] Work as limiting max address. Use together
+ with memmap= to avoid physical address space collisions.
+ Without memmap= PCI devices could be placed at addresses
+ belonging to unused RAM.
mem=nopentium [BUGS=X86-32] Disable usage of 4MB pages for kernel
memory.
ramdisk_size= [RAM] Sizes of RAM disks in kilobytes

+ rcu_nocbs= [KNL,BOOT]
+ In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, set
+ the specified list of CPUs to be no-callback CPUs.
+ Invocation of these CPUs' RCU callbacks will
+ be offloaded to "rcuoN" kthreads created for
+ that purpose. This reduces OS jitter on the
+ offloaded CPUs, which can be useful for HPC and
+ real-time workloads. It can also improve energy
+ efficiency for asymmetric multiprocessors.
+
+ rcu_nocbs_poll [KNL,BOOT]
+ Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs
+ (specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly
+ awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads,
+ make these kthreads poll for callbacks.
+ This improves the real-time response for the
+ offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to
+ wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades
+ energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
+ periodically wake up to do the polling.
+
rcutree.blimit= [KNL,BOOT]
Set maximum number of finished RCU callbacks to process
in one batch.
to facilitate early boot debugging.

+ trace_options=[option-list]
+ [FTRACE] Enable or disable tracer options at boot.
+ The option-list is a comma delimited list of options
+ that can be enabled or disabled just as if you were
+ to echo the option name into
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options
+
+ For example, to enable stacktrace option (to dump the
+ stack trace of each event), add to the command line:
+
+ trace_options=stacktrace
+
+ See also Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt "trace options"
