This version looks better and the logic is simple. It will be much better
if we can share code with parse_crashkernel_mem() since both of them look
almost the same.

Maybe just add more words to explain the specified crashkernel region
cases, but remove the 'speecified' word in function name?

Wrap this for loop into a static function to calculate the system RAM
size?

Other than these, I think this adding looks good. It won't impact the
current handling, and very easy to recognize what it's doing. Thanks for
the effort.

Thanks
