Subject: [RFC][PATCH] x86: introduce parse_early_param_alone() to parse param
 early (Was Re: linux-next: reservetop fix disables mem= )

Hi Ingo,

I find the broken patch is still in -tip tree:

x86: Fix system crash when loading with "reservetop" parameter

So, this patch is base on it.
---------------------------------------------
Subject: [RFC][PATCH] x86: introduce parse_early_param_alone() to parse param before parse_early_param()

Sometimes, we should parse specific boot parameter alone before
parse_early_param(), such as "reservetop" and "early_ioremap_debug",
like below:

> The main problem is that can't parse 'reservetop' and 'mem'/'memmap'
> parameters at the same time, because we should parse 'mem'/'memmap'
> after e820 map detected, and it might use early_memremap() during
> e820 map detecting, so we should call early_ioremap_init() before it,
> 'reservetop' parameter can change 'FIXADDR_TOP', so we parse
> 'reservetop' first,
> 
> like below sequences:
>   ......
>   ___parse 'reservetop'___  ->
>   early_ioremap_init()	  ->
>   setup_memory_map(); /* might call early_memremap()*/  ->
>   parse_setup_data(); /* might call early_memremap()*/  ->
>   e820_reserve_setup_data();	->
>   ___parse 'mem'/'memmap' and other parameters___
>   ......
> 
> (the same as 'early_ioremap_debug' parameter)
> 
> So, I'm afraid that we need separate parse 'reservetop'/
> 'early_ioremap_debug' parameters early
> 

This patch introduce a new api named parse_early_param_alone() to
do this.
