Subject: Re: [PATCH v19 01/13] kdump: add helper parse_crashkernel_high_low()


Hi, Dave, Baoquan, Borislav:
  What do you think about the introduction of parse_crashkernel_high_low()? If everyone
doesn't object, I'll bring it to the next version. But I'll make some adjustments to the
patches, see below. If there's any objection, I still strongly recommend removing the
parameters "system_ram" and "crash_base" of parse_crashkernel_{high,low}().

How about splitting __parse_crashkernel() into two parts? One for parsing
"crashkernel=X[@offset]", another one for parsing "crashkernel=X,{high,low}" and other
suffixes in the future. So the parameter requirements are clear at the lowest level.
