[PATCH -mm] x86 boot : export boot_params via debugfs for debugging

["Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@intel.com>]

This patch export the boot parameters via debugfs for debugging.

The files added are as follow:

boot_params/data    :  binary file for struct boot_params
boot_params/version :  boot protocol version

This patch is based on 2.6.24-rc5-mm1 and has been tested on i386 and
x86_64 platform.

This patch is based on the Peter Anvin's proposal.
