Yes, I can tell you what it's for: If you've got a motherboard with a bios that doesn't support disks > 32GB (or 8GB), you can use software to tell the drive to report a capacity of only 32 (or 8)GB. I've had to do this for an old board to get it to start at all if an IBM 80GB disk is connected; This new kernel option gets the full size from the disk and allows you to access the whole disk instead of just the first 32Gb.
