That's great.
You might need to add 'crashkernel=xM, crashkernel=0,low',
'crashkernel=xM, crashkernel='messy code',low' to your test cases.

Then, some words like below can be added. I am not confident it's good
enought, hope someone else can help to polish it.

What I menat is like below, we even can add code comment to make it more
clearer.
