strictly ACPI specification compliant.
rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
+ nocmcff -- Disable firmware first mode for corrected
+ errors. This disables parsing the HEST CMC error
+ source to check if firmware has set the FF flag. This
+ may result in duplicate corrected error reports.
nospcr -- disable console in ACPI SPCR table as
default _serial_ console on ARM64
For ARM64, ONLY "acpi=off", "acpi=on", "acpi=force" or

idle= [X86,EARLY]
Format: idle=poll, idle=halt, idle=nomwait
- Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly
- improve the performance of waking up a idle CPU, but
- will use a lot of power and make the system run hot.
- Not recommended.
+
+ idle=poll: Don't do power saving in the idle loop
+ using HLT, but poll for rescheduling event. This will
+ make the CPUs eat a lot more power, but may be useful
+ to get slightly better performance in multiprocessor
+ benchmarks. It also makes some profiling using
+ performance counters more accurate. Please note that
+ on systems with MONITOR/MWAIT support (like Intel
+ EM64T CPUs) this option has no performance advantage
+ over the normal idle loop. It may also interact badly
+ with hyperthreading.
+
idle=halt: Halt is forced to be used for CPU idle.
In such case C2/C3 won't be used again.
+
