[PATCH 1/2] Refactor code parsing size based on memory range

[Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Currently, crashkernel parameter supports the below syntax to parse size
based on memory range:

	crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...]

While such parsing is implemented for crashkernel parameter, it applies to
other parameters with similar syntax. So, move this code to a more generic
place for code reuse.

While this patch in itself has nothing to do with powerpc,
the powerpc patch (2/2) depends on this patch..
