If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski commit d12a72b844a49d4162f24cefdab30bed3f86730e upstream. This adds a chicken bit to turn off INVPCID in case something goes wrong. It's an early_param() because we do TLB flushes before we parse __setup() parameters.
