Hi Andrea,

I'd be happy to test, but what am I testing when applying these boot 
parameters? In other words: what should I report?

And just to be sure, I THINK I own an IVB but intel is not very vocal about it 
when searching for familyname. I have a

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 58
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3537U CPU @ 2.00GHz
stepping        : 9
microcode       : 0x17

Regards,
Martin
