[PATCH 1/2] mm/memblock: Print out errors on reserve_mem parser

[Guilherme G. Piccoli]

The parsing of kernel parameter "reserve_mem=" is subject to
multiple failures, like duplicate naming, malformed expression
or even lack of available memory. Right now, all of these fail
silently. Let's add some messages so the kernel log can provide
useful information in case of failures.
