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.
