Subject: [PATCH v21 1/5] kdump: return -ENOENT if required cmdline option does not exist

The crashkernel=Y,low is an optional command-line option. When it doesn't
exist, kernel will try to allocate minimum required memory below 4G
automatically. Give it a unique error code to distinguish it from other
error scenarios.
