Limit types that can be read from guest memory
Not all types are safe to read from guest memory.  Any type with a
reference or pointer will be initialized to random bits that don't refer
to a valid address.  This can cause dangling pointer and general
unsafe behavior.

To fix this, limit types that can be read with read_obj to those that
implement the unsafe trait `DataInit`.  Provide implementations of
`DataInit` for intrinsic types that are obviously safe to initialize
with random data.

Implement the needed traits for bootparam types as they are read from
the kernel image directly.
