+What: x86_32 "no-hlt" cmdline param
+When: 2012
+Why: remove a branch from idle path, simplify code used by everybody.
+ This option disabled the use of HLT in idle and machine_halt()
+ for hardware that was flakey 15-years ago. Today we have
+ "idle=poll" that removed HLT from idle, and so if such a machine
+ is still running the upstream kernel, "idle=poll" is likely sufficient.
