[PATCH] Convert x86-64 to early param

Instead of hackish manual parsing

Requires earlier i386 patchkit, but also fixes i386 early_printk again.

I removed some obsolete really early parameters which didn't do anything useful.
Also made a few parameters that needed it early (mostly oops printing setup)

Also removed one panic check that wasn't visible without
early console anyways (the early console is now initialized after that
panic)

This cleans up a lot of code.
