    			Format: bpp:<bpp1>[:<bpp2>[:<bpp3>...]]
    
    
    	sunrpc.pool_mode=
    			[NFS]
    			Control how the NFS server code allocates CPUs to
    			service thread pools.  Depending on how many NICs
    			you have and where their interrupts are bound, this
    			option will affect which CPUs will do NFS serving.
    			Note: this parameter cannot be changed while the
    			NFS server is running.
    
    			auto	    the server chooses an appropriate mode
    				    automatically using heuristics
    			global	    a single global pool contains all CPUs
    			percpu	    one pool for each CPU
    			pernode	    one pool for each NUMA node (equivalent
    				    to global on non-NUMA machines)

    			autosuspended.  Devices for which the delay is set
    
    			to a negative value won't be autosuspended at all.
