+ clearcpuid=BITNUM [X86]
+ Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See

+ Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
+ stable over kernel options, but the vendor specific
+ ones should be.
+ Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
+ or using the feature without checking anything
+ will still see it. This just prevents it from
+ being used by the kernel or shown in /proc/cpuinfo.
+ Also note the kernel might malfunction if you disable
