idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states
+ ieee754= [MIPS] Select IEEE Std 754 conformance mode
+ Format: { strict | legacy | 2008 | relaxed }
+ Default: strict
+
+ Choose which programs will be accepted for execution
+ based on the IEEE 754 NaN encoding(s) supported by
+ the FPU and the NaN encoding requested with the value
+ of an ELF file header flag individually set by each
+ binary. Hardware implementations are permitted to
+ support either or both of the legacy and the 2008 NaN
+ encoding mode.
+
+ Available settings are as follows:
+ strict accept binaries that request a NaN encoding
+ supported by the FPU
+ legacy only accept legacy-NaN binaries, if supported
+ by the FPU
+ 2008 only accept 2008-NaN binaries, if supported
+ by the FPU
+ relaxed accept any binaries regardless of whether
+ supported by the FPU
+
+ The FPU emulator is always able to support both NaN
+ encodings, so if no FPU hardware is present or it has
+ been disabled with 'nofpu', then the settings of
+ 'legacy' and '2008' strap the emulator accordingly,
+ 'relaxed' straps the emulator for both legacy-NaN and
+ 2008-NaN, whereas 'strict' enables legacy-NaN only on
+ legacy processors and both NaN encodings on MIPS32 or
+ MIPS64 CPUs.
+
+ The setting for ABS.fmt/NEG.fmt instruction execution
+ mode generally follows that for the NaN encoding,
+ except where unsupported by hardware.
