x86/fred: Parse cmdline param "fred=" in cpu_parse_early_param()
Depending on whether FRED is enabled, sysvec_install() installs a system interrupt handler into either into FRED's system vector dispatch table or into the IDT. However FRED can be disabled later in trap_init(), after sysvec_install() has been invoked already; e.g., the HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR handler is registered with sysvec_install() in kvm_guest_init(), which is called in setup_arch() but way before trap_init(). IOW, there is a gap between FRED is available and available but disabled. As a result, when FRED is available but disabled, early sysvec_install() invocations fail to install the IDT handler resulting in spurious interrupts. Fix it by parsing cmdline param "fred=" in cpu_parse_early_param() to ensure that FRED is disabled before the first sysvec_install() incovations.
