xen: Fix off-by-one error when parsing command line arguments
As Xen currently stands, it will attempt to interpret the first few bytes of the initcall section as a struct kernel_param. The reason that this not caused problems is because in the overflow case, param->name is actually a function pointer to the first initcall, and intepreting it as string is very unlikely to match an ASCII command line parameter name.
