This aid debugging on bare metal when we suspect that the boot console
does something wrong that interferes with other kernel components.

* **`disable_virtio`** - If present on the command line, virtio devices will not be detected, and initialized on boot. * **`disable_virtio`** - If present on the command line, virtio devices will not be detected, and initialized on boot.
* **`early_boot_console`** - This parameter expects **`on`** or **`off`** and is by default set to **`on`**.
When set to **`off`**, the kernel will not initialize any early console to show kernel dmesg output.
When set to **`on`**, the kernel will try to initialize either a text mode console (if VGA text mode was detected)
or framebuffer console, based on what the Multiboot bootloader specified on the physical address, width, height
and bit color depth.
* **`enable_ioapic`** - This parameter expects **`on`** or **`off`** and is by default set to **`on`**. * **`enable_ioapic`** - This parameter expects **`on`** or **`off`** and is by default set to **`on`**.
When set to **`off`**, the kernel will initialize the two i8259 PICs. When set to **`off`**, the kernel will initialize the two i8259 PICs.
When set to **`on`**, the kernel will try to initialize the IOAPIC (or IOAPICs if there's more than one), When set to **`on`**, the kernel will try to initialize the IOAPIC (or IOAPICs if there's more than one),
