Extract that functionality into a generic helper so that
handle_mem_options() and your get_acpi_rsdp() can call it instead
of duplicating the code. Also, why aren't they both using
cmdline_find_option() directly?

If something's missing, extend cmdline_find_option() to serve your
purposes too instead of copying the same code.

Make more sense?
