Subject: [PATCH] Clean up the passing of the boot command line to the kernel.

kern/linux/linux_system.cc:
    Don't hard code the address of the command line in the kernel,
    instead, deduce it from the location of known symbols.
    don't use strcpy, it's dangerous.
kern/linux/linux_system.hh:
    Don't hard code the address of the command line in the kernel,
    instead, deduce it from the location of known symbols.
