[PATCH v3 4/5] powerpc/fadump: reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump memory reservation

[Hari Bathini]

fadump supports specifying memory to reserve for fadump's crash kernel
with fadump_reserve_mem kernel parameter. This parameter currently
supports passing a fixed memory size, like fadump_reserve_mem=<size>
only. This patch aims to add support for other syntaxes like range-based
memory size <range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,<range3>:<size3>,...]
which allows using the same parameter to boot the kernel with different
system RAM sizes.

As crashkernel parameter already supports the above mentioned syntaxes,
this patch deprecates fadump_reserve_mem parameter and reuses crashkernel
parameter instead, to specify memory for fadump's crash kernel memory
reservation as well. If any offset is provided in crashkernel parameter,
it will be ignored in case of fadump, as fadump reserves memory at end
of RAM.

Advantages using crashkernel parameter instead of fadump_reserve_mem
parameter are one less kernel parameter overall, code reuse and support
for multiple syntaxes to specify memory.
