- code_bytes [IA32] How many bytes of object code to print in an
- oops report.
+ clearcpuid=BITNUM [X86]
+ Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See
+ include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h for the valid bit numbers.
+ Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
+ stable over kernel options, but the vendor specific
+ ones should be.
+ Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
+ or using the feature without checking anything
+ will still see it. This just prevents it from
+ being used by the kernel or shown in /proc/cpuinfo.
+ Also note the kernel might malfunction if you disable
+ some critical bits.
+
+ code_bytes [IA32/X86_64] How many bytes of object code to print

+ disable_mtrr_trim [X86, Intel and AMD only]
