+			early	Call xmon as early as possible on boot; xmon

+			on	xmon debugger hooks will be installed so xmon
+				is only called on a kernel crash. Default mode,
+				i.e. either "ro" or "rw" mode, is controlled
+				with CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT_RO_MODE.
+			rw	xmon debugger hooks will be installed so xmon
+				is called only on a kernel crash, mode is write,
+				meaning SPR registers, memory and, other data
+				can be written using xmon commands.
+			ro 	same as "rw" option above but SPR registers,
+				memory, and other data can't be written using
+				xmon commands.
+			off	xmon is disabled.
