x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address from boot params if available

jgross1 · Ingo Molnar · commit e6e094e053af · 2018-11-20T09:43:11.000+01:00
In case the RSDP address in struct boot_params is specified don't try to find the table by searching, but take the address directly as set by the boot loader. Suggested-by: "H.
