            "content": "Various OS components process SMBIOS Type 11 vendor strings that a virtual machine manager\n(VMM) may set and a virtual machine (VM) receives. SMBIOS Type 11 vendor strings may play a\nsimilar role as kernel-command-line(1) parameters but generally are under control of the VMM\nrather than the boot loader or UKI.\n\nFor details on SMBIOS Type 11 see the \u001b[34mSystem Management BIOS[1] specifications.\n",

See systemd.exec(5) and \u001b[34mSystem and Service Credentials[2] for details.\n\nAdded in version 252.\n\nio.systemd.stub.kernel-cmdline-extra=CMDLINE\nThis allows configuration of additional kernel command line options, and is read by the\nkernel UEFI stub.
