+   lpj=n      [KNL]
+         Sets loops_per_jiffy to given constant, thus avoiding
+         time-consuming boot-time autodetection (up to 250 ms per
+         CPU). 0 enables autodetection (default). To determine
+         the correct value for your kernel, boot with normal
+         autodetection and see what value is printed. Note that
+         on SMP systems the preset will be applied to all CPUs,
+         which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
+         significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
+         will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
+         unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although
+         unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your
+         hardware.
