rcuperf.perf_runnable= [BOOT]
Start rcuperf running at boot time.

rcuperf.shutdown= [KNL]
Shut the system down after performance tests
complete. This is useful for hands-off automated
testing.

rcuperf.verbose= [KNL]
Enable additional printk() statements.
+ rcuperf.writer_holdoff= [KNL]
+ Write-side holdoff between grace periods,
