Generic kernel parameters
In addition to codes specific to TC, the linux kernel accepts several parameters. These are listed at either http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/lkn/lkn_pdf/ch09.pdf in rather user-friendly form, or at http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt in bare list form.
