[PATCH v7 3/5] x86/cpuid: Make clearcpuid an early param

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Sep 19 2017 - 18:27:15 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.
