+Description:	Control split lock detection on Intel Tremont and future CPUs
+
+		Read/write interface to control split lock detection:
+			"0"	disable split lock detection on all CPUs
+			"1"	enable split lock detection on all CPUs
+
+		Please note the interface only shows or controls global setting.
+		During run time, split lock detection on one CPU may be
+		disabled if split lock operation in kernel code happens on
+		the CPU. The interface doesn't show or control split lock
+		detection on individual CPU.
