+ alloc_snapshot [FTRACE]
+ Allocate the ftrace snapshot buffer on boot up when the
+ main buffer is allocated. This is handy if debugging
+ and you need to use tracing_snapshot() on boot up, and
+ do not want to use tracing_snapshot_alloc() as it needs
+ to be done where GFP_KERNEL allocations are allowed.

amd_iommu= [HW,X86-64]
Pass parameters to the AMD IOMMU driver in the system.
Possible values are:
cio_ignore= [S390]
See Documentation/s390/CommonIO for details.
+ clk_ignore_unused
+ [CLK]
+ Keep all clocks already enabled by bootloader on,
+ even if no driver has claimed them. This is useful
+ for debug and development, but should not be
+ needed on a platform with proper driver support.
+ For more information, see Documentation/clk.txt.

- crashkernel_low=size[KMG]
- [KNL, x86] parts under 4G.
-
crashkernel=range1:size1[,range2:size2,...][@offset]
[KNL] Same as above, but depends on the memory
in the running system. The syntax of range is
a memory unit (amount[KMG]). See also
Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for an example.
+ crashkernel=size[KMG],high
+ [KNL, x86_64] range could be above 4G. Allow kernel
+ to allocate physical memory region from top, so could
+ be above 4G if system have more than 4G ram installed.
+ Otherwise memory region will be allocated below 4G, if
+ available.
+ It will be ignored if crashkernel=X is specified.
+ crashkernel=size[KMG],low
+ [KNL, x86_64] range under 4G. When crashkernel=X,high
+ is passed, kernel could allocate physical memory region
+ above 4G, that cause second kernel crash on system
+ that require some amount of low memory, e.g. swiotlb
+ requires at least 64M+32K low memory. Kernel would
+ try to allocate 72M below 4G automatically.
+ This one let user to specify own low range under 4G
+ for second kernel instead.
+ 0: to disable low allocation.
+ It will be ignored when crashkernel=X,high is not used
+ or memory reserved is below 4G.

The options are the same as for ttyS, above.
- earlyprintk= [X86,SH,BLACKFIN]

earlyprintk=vga
earlyprintk=xen
earlyprintk=serial[,ttySn[,baudrate]]
+ earlyprintk=serial[,0x...[,baudrate]]
earlyprintk=ttySn[,baudrate]
earlyprintk=dbgp[debugController#]
+ earlyprintk is useful when the kernel crashes before
+ the normal console is initialized. It is not enabled by
+ default because it has some cosmetic problems.
+
Append ",keep" to not disable it when the real console
takes over.
Only vga or serial or usb debug port at a time.
- Currently only ttyS0 and ttyS1 are supported.
+ Currently only ttyS0 and ttyS1 may be specified by
+ name. Other I/O ports may be explicitly specified
+ on some architectures (x86 and arm at least) by
+ replacing ttySn with an I/O port address, like this:
+ earlyprintk=serial,0x1008,115200
+ You can find the port for a given device in
+ /proc/tty/driver/serial:
+ 2: uart:ST16650V2 port:00001008 irq:18 ...
Interaction with the standard serial driver is not
very good.
edd= [EDD]
Format: {"off" | "on" | "skip[mbr]"}
+ efi_no_storage_paranoia [EFI; X86]
+ Using this parameter you can use more than 50% of

+ you are really sure that your UEFI does sane gc and
+ fulfills the spec otherwise your board may brick.
