[RESEND PATCH v2 1/2] update mem= option's spec according to its implementation

[wency]

From: Wen Congyang <wency@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Current mem= implementation seems buggy because specification and
implementation doesn't match. Current mem= has been working
for many years and it's not buggy, it works as expected. So
we should update the specification.
