+Description: (RW) Control split lock detection on Intel Tremont and
+ future CPUs
+
+ Reads return split lock detection status:
+ 0: disabled
+ 1: enabled
+
+ Writes enable or disable split lock detection:
+ The first character is one of 'Nn0' or [oO][fF] for off
+ disables the feature.
+ The first character is one of 'Yy1' or [oO][nN] for on
+ enables the feature.
+
+ Please note the interface only shows or controls global setting.
+ During run time, split lock detection on one CPU may be
+ disabled if split lock operation in kernel code happens on
+ the CPU. The interface doesn't show or control split lock
+ detection on individual CPU.
