UART at the specified I/O port or MMIO address,
switching to the matching ttyS device later. The
options are the same as for ttyS, above.
+ hvc<n> Use the hypervisor console device <n>. This is for
+ both Xen and PowerPC hypervisors.
If the device connected to the port is not a TTY but a braille
device, prepend "brl," before the device type, for instance
earlyprintk= [X86,SH,BLACKFIN]
earlyprintk=vga
+ earlyprintk=xen
earlyprintk=serial[,ttySn[,baudrate]]
earlyprintk=ttySn[,baudrate]
earlyprintk=dbgp[debugController#]
The VGA output is eventually overwritten by the real
console.
+ The xen output can only be used by Xen PV guests.

ekgdboc= [X86,KGDB] Allow early kernel console debugging
ekgdboc=kbd
If specified, z/VM IUCV HVC accepts connections
from listed z/VM user IDs only.
+ hwthread_map= [METAG] Comma-separated list of Linux cpu id to
+ hardware thread id mappings.
+ Format: <cpu>:<hwthread>

keep_bootcon [KNL]
Do not unregister boot console at start. This is only
useful for debugging when something happens in the window
that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
is not too small.
- movablemem_map=acpi
- [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter is similar to
- memmap except it specifies the memory map of
- ZONE_MOVABLE.
- This option inform the kernel to use Hot Pluggable bit
- in flags from SRAT from ACPI BIOS to determine which
- memory devices could be hotplugged. The corresponding
- memory ranges will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE.
- NOTE: Whatever node the kernel resides in will always
- be un-hotpluggable.
-
- movablemem_map=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
- [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter is similar to
- memmap except it specifies the memory map of
- ZONE_MOVABLE.
- If user specifies memory ranges, the info in SRAT will
- be ingored. And it works like the following:
- - If more ranges are all within one node, then from
- lowest ss to the end of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE.
- - If a range is within a node, then from ss to the end
- of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE.
- - If a range covers two or more nodes, then from ss to
- the end of the 1st node will be ZONE_MOVABLE, and all
- the rest nodes will only have ZONE_MOVABLE.
- If memmap is specified at the same time, the
- movablemem_map will be limited within the memmap
- areas. If kernelcore or movablecore is also specified,
- movablemem_map will have higher priority to be
- satisfied. So the administrator should be careful that
- the amount of movablemem_map areas are not too large.
- Otherwise kernel won't have enough memory to start.
- NOTE: We don't stop users specifying the node the
- kernel resides in as hotpluggable so that this
- option can be used as a workaround of firmware
- bugs.

MTD_Partition= [MTD]
Format: <name>,<region-number>,<size>,<offset>
This sorting is done to get a device
order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
nobfsort Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
+ pcie_bus_tune_off Disable PCIe MPS (Max Payload Size)
+ tuning and use the BIOS-configured MPS defaults.
+ pcie_bus_safe Set every device's MPS to the largest value
+ supported by all devices below the root complex.
+ pcie_bus_perf Set device MPS to the largest allowable MPS
+ based on its parent bus. Also set MRRS (Max
+ Read Request Size) to the largest supported
+ value (no larger than the MPS that the device
+ or bus can support) for best performance.
+ pcie_bus_peer2peer Set every device's MPS to 128B, which
+ every device is guaranteed to support. This
+ configuration allows peer-to-peer DMA between
+ any pair of devices, possibly at the cost of
+ reduced performance. This also guarantees
+ that hot-added devices will work.
