Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fix parsing of reboot= cmdline

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@...rosoft.com>

The parsing of the reboot= cmdline has two major errors:
- a missing bound check can crash the system on reboot
- parsing of the cpu number only works if specified last

Fix both, along with a small code refactor.

Matteo Croce (2):
  reboot: fix overflow parsing reboot cpu number
  reboot: fix parsing of reboot cpu number
