x86, kdump: Change crashkernel_high/low= to crashkernel=,high/low
Per hpa, use crashkernel=X,high crashkernel=Y,low instead of crashkernel_hign=X crashkernel_low=Y. As that could be extensible. -v2: according to Vivek, change delimiter to ; -v3: let hign and low only handle simple form and it conforms to description in kernel-parameters.txt still keep crashkernel=X override any crashkernel=X,high crashkernel=Y,low -v4: update get_last_crashkernel returning and add more strict checking in parse_crashkernel_simple() found by HATAYAMA. -v5: Change delimiter back to , according to HPA. also separate parse_suffix from parse_simper according to vivek. so we can avoid @pos in that path. -v6: Tight the checking about crashkernel=X,highblahblah,high found by HTYAYAMA.
