What are those functions for? They are not used in that patch at all.

What's the point of defining this variable here and zero initializing it?

Sentences start with an upper case letter. Everywhere!

You can spare an indentation level by just returning when the search fails.

for (i = 0; str && (i < MAX_MEMMAP_REGIONS); i++) {
Please.

So this makes no sense. You parse start/size as unsigned long long and
then store it in an unsigned long. Works on 64bit, but on 32bit this is
just wrong:
Assume a memmap above 4G, which then will create a avoid region below 4G
due to truncation to unsigned long.
