This is in preparation to make different architectures implement a
trait, but for now it's just moving code out of linux.rs and into
x86_64 trait. A few new functions were required which will become
part of the trait interface. There's still a lot of ugly ifdefs
everywhere that should go away in subsequent CLs.

Not all types are safe to read from guest memory. Any type with a
reference or pointer will be initialized to random bits that don't refer
to a valid address. This can cause dangling pointer and general
unsafe behavior.
To fix this, limit types that can be read with read_obj to those that
implement the unsafe trait `DataInit`. Provide implementations of
`DataInit` for intrinsic types that are obviously safe to initialize
with random data.
Implement the needed traits for bootparam types as they are read from
the kernel image directly.
