Subject: [PATCH] neaten lguest boot code (again)

(This cleanup seems to have gotten lost in rc3-mm1?  It was in rc2-mm1
called lguest-the-host-code-update-for-mm-simplify-boot_params.patch)

Andrew patched up lguest after the boot parameters became a proper
structure, but in fact it can be considerably neatened.
