highmem=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] forces the highmem zone to have an exact
size of <nn>. This works even on boxes that have no
highmem otherwise. This also works to reduce highmem

+ Format: idle=poll or idle=mwait, idle=halt, idle=nomwait
Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly improves the performance
of waking up a idle CPU, but will use a lot of power and make the system
run hot. Not recommended.
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
