Okay, have taken your advice and printed a list of both to compare.  
Here are the results.  Under the YDL list a total of 42 settings were 
listed.  Out of those 42, only one item that did not correspond to a 
setting on the OSX list: aapl,pci=

On the OSX list, a total of 43 settings were listed.  Out of those 43, 2 
items did not show up on the YDL list:

ASVP    010717000032%00
boot-args

Although listed in different order and a somewhat different format, the 
rest of the items corresponded exactly to both lists.  Can you make 
anything out of this?
