Subject: [PATCH 4.1 03/65] x86/mm: Add a 'noinvpcid' boot option to turn off INVPCID

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

commit d12a72b844a49d4162f24cefdab30bed3f86730e upstream.

This adds a chicken bit to turn off INVPCID in case something goes
wrong.  It's an early_param() because we do TLB flushes before we
parse __setup() parameters.
