Introduce two utility functions to parse a kernel command
line string according to the kernel code parsing rules in
order to enable the caller to perform operations such as
verifying whether certain argument=value combinations are
present or retrieving an argument's value.

Hmm, we're not checking the non-breaking space anywhere else in the code, so I
think we'd be fine not checking it here either, so plain g_ascii_isspace()
would suffice in the code

Because '-' and '_' are equal in the parameter syntax, rather than introducing
another string equality function just because of this, we should normalize the
inputs by replacing occurrences of one with the other and then simply do STREQ
at the appropriate spot in the code

in this specific case I think that naming the iteration variable param_i is
more confusing than actually settling down with something like "offset"
especially when you're doing arithmetics with it.

Anyhow, this function is IMO doing too much on its own - parsing tokens,
matching the arguments, and extracting parameters and their values. All of that
should be split into helpers to enhance readability. Unfortunately you can't
use our existing tokenizer virStringSplit because of values containing spaces,
so you'll have to write your own that takes that into account, it should return
a token (parameter or parameter=value), then parse the returned token into
key-value pair, match the key with the input key and return whatever is needed
to be returned.

Why are ^these constants needed? Especially the last two. Kernel is parsing the
parameters sequentially, so the last one wins. We should match that behaviour
when determining the value of a setting and ignore any previous occurrences of
a parameter.
