__setup() handlers should return 1 to obsolete_checksetup() in
init/main.c to indicate that the boot option has been handled. A return
of 0 causes the boot option/value to be listed as an Unknown kernel
parameter and added to init's (limited) argument (no '=') or environment
(with '=') strings. So return 1 from these x86 __setup handlers.
Examples:
Unknown kernel command line parameters "apicpmtimer
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc8 vdso=1 ring3mwait=disable", will be
passed to user space.
Run /sbin/init as init process
with arguments:
/sbin/init
apicpmtimer
with environment:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc8
vdso=1
ring3mwait=disable
