    x86/boot: Fix latent memory corruption with early_boot_opts_t
    
    c/s ebb26b509f "xen/x86: make VGA support selectable" added an #ifdef
    CONFIG_VIDEO into the middle the backing space for early_boot_opts_t,
    but didn't adjust the structure definition in cmdline.c
    
    This only functions correctly because the affected fields are at the end
    of the structure, and cmdline.c doesn't write to them in this case.
    
    To retain the slimming effect of compiling out CONFIG_VIDEO, adjust
    cmdline.c with enough #ifdef-ary to make C's idea of the structure match
    the declaration in asm.  This requires adding __maybe_unused annotations
    to two helper functions.
