Subject: x86/mm: Add the 'nopcid' boot option to turn off PCID
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0790c9aad84901ca1bdc14746175549c8b5da215;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

x86/mm: Add the 'nopcid' boot option to turn off PCID

The parameter is only present on x86_64 systems to save a few bytes,
as PCID is always disabled on x86_32.
