Re: [PATCH] Allow a hyphenated range in get_options, with cleanup

This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed
to command line helper function, get_options.
Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a
list of cpus.
Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of cpus on a
large system. Valid values of <cpu_number> include all cpus, 0 to
"number of CPUs in system - 1".

It would be better if you defined a separate function for this
instead of defining such a weird calling convention.

The common code with get_options could be factored out into a helper.
