Firstly, I am not sure if '-ENOENT' is a right value to return. From the
code comment of ENOENT, it's used for file or dir?
#define ENOENT           2      /* No such file or directory */

Secondly, we ever discussed the case including
 - no crashkernel=,low is provided;
 - messy code is provied, e.g crashkernel=aaaaaabbbb,low

The 2nd one is not handled in this patchset. How about taking the
handling into another round of patches. This patchset just adds
crashkernel=,high purely.
