OMG, quick, please send a patch for Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
(big ;)


Its a lot simpler to use sed. Can't find IA32 as a mark, seems the Itanic
one was but not that. X86-32 is more consistent and not Intel specific so
one search and waste later (plus a line move)

Yep, thanks, looks good to me.  However, you say "Can't find IA32 as a mark",
but it's used in a couple of places that should also be changed:

        code_bytes      [IA32] How many bytes of object code to print in an
                        oops report.
                        Range: 0 - 8192
                        Default: 64

and

        disable_8254_timer
        enable_8254_timer
                        [IA32/X86_64] Disable/Enable interrupt 0 timer routing
                        over the 8254 in addition to over the IO-APIC. The
                        kernel tries to set a sensible default.
