This should probably be called plain "pat" to mirror arch/x86/mm/pat.c "nopat" force off parameter. That by the way is an early_param which I guess this should then also be?


Either that or "pat={off,on,force}" to give space for other options... would mean keeping "nopat" around as an alias for now, though...
