Subject: [x86 setup 06/33] Clean up struct screen_info (<linux/screen_info.h>)

From: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@...or.com>

struct screen_info has unaligned members, it needs to be packed.
In the process, fix the naming of some of the members, which don't
belong in this structure but are part of it anyway.
