Andy Shevchenko 3469bf4274 x86: zImage: Propagate acpi_rsdp_addr to kernel via boot parameters
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.

  @ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=2f74cbf

for the details.
