[PATCH 3/5] x86/cpuid: Make clearcpuid an early param

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Mon Jun 05 2017 - 19:00:01 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Make clearcpuid= an early param, to make sure it is parsed
before the XSAVE initialization. This allows to modify
XSAVE state by clearing specific CPUID bits.
