Changes to kernel_args to make it identical for x86 and x86_64.

* Added a FixedWidthPointer template class which uses 64-bit storage to hold
  a pointer. This is used in place of raw pointers in kernel_args.
* Added __attribute__((packed)) to kernel_args and all structures contained
  within it. This is necessary due to different alignment behaviour for
  32-bit and 64-bit compilation with GCC.
* With these changes, kernel_args will now come out the same size for both
  the x86_64 kernel and the loader, excluding the preloaded_image structure
  which has not yet been changed.
* Tested both an x86 GCC2 and GCC4 build, no problems caused by these changes.
