Here I mean that you can search '@' at the beginning if crashkernel is
found. Maybe no need to clear mem_avoid since it's global data, has been
initialized to 0 during loading. It's in BSS, right?

You don't have to search first colon or first space, then parse size of
crashkernel, and finally find out that it's only crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
style, no '@' specified. What do you think?
