My another concern is the crashkernel=,low handling. In this patch, the
code related to low memory is obscure. Wondering if we should make them
explicit with a little redundant but very clear code flows. Saying this
because the code must be very clear to you and reviewers, it may be
harder for later code reader or anyone interested to understand.
1) crashkernel=X,high
2) crashkernel=X,high crashkernel=Y,low
3) crashkernel=X,high crashkernel=0,low
4) crashkernel=X,high crashkernel='messy code',low
5) crashkernel=X //fall back to high memory, low memory is required then.
It could be me thinking about it too much. I made changes to your patch
with a tuning, not sure if it's OK to you. Otherwise, this patchset
works very well for all above test cases, it's ripe to be merged for
wider testing.
