OK, I'll do that.

I'll fix them.

I'll fix it, thanks.

I intended to keep the previous or initial value of apic_extnmi
because boot option can be specified multiple times. If a user do
that, making the last valid value effective would be natural manner.
This is unclear part of boot option as Ingo pointed, but...

I like 80 cols because I'm working with multiple 80-col terminals. :-)

You are right. It seems that I deleted it while modifying
around the code.
