I don't think we need to guard against that. It seems perfectly valid
to have a lilo config with

  append="cgroup_disable=memory"

and then want to boot with the memory controller enabled you can do

  lilo -R <image> cgroup_enable=memory

The kernel command line will then look like

  "... cgroup_disable=memory cgroup_enable=memory"

and the last switch should win.
