Also, why was this syntax introduced in the first place? Why should the user care?? We should only have a single crashkernel option, to enable it - and everything else should be figured out by the kernel, automatically. Any other sub-options just paper over some fragility elsewhere and make the feature harder to use, hence more fragile.
