Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/boot: save fields explicitly, zero out everything else

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@...dia.com>

Recent gcc compilers (gcc 9.1) generate warnings about an
out of bounds memset, if you trying memset across several fields
of a struct. This generated a couple of warnings on x86_64 builds.

Fix this by explicitly saving the fields in struct boot_params
that are intended to be preserved, and zeroing all the rest.
