+Description:
+		The BGRT is an ACPI 5.0 feature that allows the OS
+		to obtain a copy of the firmware boot splash and
+		some associated metadata. This is intended to be used
+		by boot splash applications in order to interact with
+		the firmware boot splash in order to avoid jarring
+		transitions.
+
+		image: The image bitmap. Currently a 32-bit BMP.
+		status: 1 if the image is valid, 0 if firmware invalidated it.
+		type: 0 indicates image is in BMP format.
+		version: The version of the BGRT. Currently 1.
+		xoffset: The number of pixels between the left of the screen
+			 and the left edge of the image.
+		yoffset: The number of pixels between the top of the screen
+			 and the top edge of the image.

+- notrigger
+  The EINJ mechanism is a two step process. First inject the error, then
+  perform some actions to trigger it. Setting "notrigger" to 1 skips the
+  trigger phase, which *may* allow the user to cause the error in some other
+  context by a simple access to the cpu, memory location, or device that is
+  the target of the error injection. Whether this actually works depends
+  on what operations the BIOS actually includes in the trigger phase.

 BIOS versions based in the ACPI 4.0 specification have limited options
 to control where the errors are injected.  Your BIOS may support an
 extension (enabled with the param_extension=1 module parameter, or
