Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] support Linux' advanced crashkernel= syntax
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.24.0.100205
A code comment explaining the cmdline format parsed would be good. Also
perhaps a more detailed patch summary: I can't really see what is going on
here. Seems to be checking user-specified 'ranges' against 'total RAM', but
I can't work out what it's all for.
