This creates a trait that different architectures can implement to
support running Linux VMs.
In the implementation on X86 we remove some error and return errors
from lower-level modules as appropriate. These modules now implement
the Error trait so we can get meaningful descriptions without an extra
error from the calling function. This still keeps all the ifdefs in
linux.rs for now until we have another implementation to use for ARM.

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.
