According to the current crashkernel=Y,low support in other ARCHes, it's an optional command-line option. When it doesn't exist, kernel will try to allocate minimum required memory below 4G automatically. However, __parse_crashkernel() returns '-EINVAL' for all error cases. It can't distinguish the nonexistent option from invalid option. Change __parse_crashkernel() to return '-ENOENT' for the nonexistent option case. With this change, crashkernel,low memory will take the default value if crashkernel=,low is not specified; while crashkernel reservation will fail and bail out if an invalid option is specified.
