the kernel init/main.c expects a trap_init() implementation in architecture
code. Some architecture's implementation is NULL, similar as riscv, for example,
arm, powerpc and so on. However I think you are right, the trap_init() can be
removed, we need a trivial series to provide a __weak but NULL trap_init()
implementation in init/main.c then remove all NULL implementation from
all arch. I can take the task to do the clean up.

I think the zero page is already initialized as "0" because empty_zero_page
sits in .bss section. So this setup_zero_page() function can be removed. I
will send a newer version later.
