  Ok, then what do you think this:

1. GRUB searches for mem= in the kernel argument(s).
2. If found, don't pass the option automatically (regardless of the
value).
3. Otherwise, pass the option as the current behavior.

  Thanks for your suggestion. The reason why I forced GRUB to remove
it after parsing it was that I just didn't know if the kernel would
ignore the option mildly. I'll get rid of the deletion code.
