On x86 platforms, U-Boot does not pass Device Tree data to the kernel.
This prevents the kernel from using FDT loaded by U-Boot.
Read the working FDT address from the "fdtaddr" environment variable
and add a copy of the FDT data to the kernel setup_data list.

New field acpi_rsdp_addr, which has been introduced in boot protocol
v2.14 [1], in boot parameters tells kernel the exact address of RDSP
ACPI table. Knowing it increases robustness of the kernel by avoiding
in some cases traversal through a part of physical memory.
It will slightly reduce boot time by the same reason.

2f74cbf ("x86/boot: Add the ACPI RSDP address to struct setup_header::acpi_rdsp_addr")
@ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=2f74cbf

Booting Linux kernel v4.7+ does not work since Linux kernel commit 974f221c
"x86/boot: Move compressed kernel to the end of the decompression buffer".
This patch adds the latest version of the setup_header struct, adding
"init_size" which is needed since this commit referenced above. With this
patch, booting Linux v4.8-rc8 does work again on x86 boards.
