| 32 | 32 | ``maxcpus=n`` |
|---|
| 33 | | - Restrict boot time CPUs to *n*. Say if you have fourV CPUs, using |
|---|
| 33 | + Restrict boot time CPUs to *n*. Say if you have four CPUs, using |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | ``maxcpus=2`` will only boot two. You can choose to bring the |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | other CPUs later online. |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | ``nr_cpus=n`` |
|---|
| 38 | | - Restrict the total amount CPUs the kernel will support. If the number |
|---|
| 39 | | - supplied here is lower than the number of physically available CPUs than |
|---|
| 38 | + Restrict the total amount of CPUs the kernel will support. If the number |
|---|
| 39 | + supplied here is lower than the number of physically available CPUs, then |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | those CPUs can not be brought online later. |

| 42 | 42 | ``additional_cpus=n`` |
|---|
| .. | .. |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | This option sets ``possible_cpus`` bits in ``cpu_possible_mask``. |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | This option is limited to the X86 and S390 architecture. |
|---|
| 52 | | - |
|---|
| 53 | | -``cede_offline={"off","on"}`` |
|---|
| 54 | | - Use this option to disable/enable putting offlined processors to an extended |
|---|
| 55 | | - ``H_CEDE`` state on supported pseries platforms. If nothing is specified, |
|---|
| 56 | | - ``cede_offline`` is set to "on". |
|---|
| 57 | | - |
|---|
| 58 | | - This option is limited to the PowerPC architecture. |
|---|
| 59 | 52 | |
|---|
| 60 | 53 | ``cpu0_hotplug`` |
|---|
| 61 | 54 | Allow to shutdown CPU0. |
