[PATCH v2 2/9] docs: kernel-parameters: Drop the bau= entry

From: Karl Mehltretter <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-05 09:47:23
Also in: linux-doc, linux-edac, linux-ide, linux-input, linux-m68k, linux-omap, linux-samsung-soc
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

bau= went away with commit 39297dde7390 ("x86/platform/uv: Remove UV
BAU TLB Shootdown Handler"); nothing parses it any more.

Drop the entry.

Found by cross-checking every documented name against the __setup(),
early_param() and core_param() registrations in the tree.

Fixes: 39297dde7390 ("x86/platform/uv: Remove UV BAU TLB Shootdown Handler")
