Either there's an extra argv member that is always present and we want
to remove, or there's the possibility that the command-line is empty.
AFAICS we can't have both problems.
argv[0] corresponds to the filename, right? In that case, it's not possible
to run multiboot without argv[0] (or at least, we shouldn't allow it). Then
we can remove it unconditionally.

how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
