If the grub kernel commandline is set to crashkernel=auto, it will not expand the crashkernel=auto in the /proc/cmdline. It still says crashkernel=auto.
Using /sys to determines crashkernel actual size is confusing since there is no unit of measure.
Add a new command "kdumpctl showmem" to show the reserved memory kindly.
Jeff Burke raised this issue to kdump team, and he thinks this can faciliate user to get the reserved crashkernel size in a readable way.
Patch looks good to me. Ack it.
