+ Format: idle=poll, idle=halt, idle=nomwait
Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly
improve the performance of waking up a idle CPU, but
will use a lot of power and make the system run hot.
Not recommended.
- idle=mwait: On systems which support MONITOR/MWAIT but
- the kernel chose to not use it because it doesn't save
- as much power as a normal idle loop, use the
- MONITOR/MWAIT idle loop anyways. Performance should be
- the same as idle=poll.
idle=halt: Halt is forced to be used for CPU idle.
In such case C2/C3 won't be used again.
idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states

no_file_caps Tells the kernel not to honor file capabilities. The
only way then for a file to be executed with privilege
is to be setuid root or executed by root.
