    x86/boot: Add "acpi_rsdp=" early parsing · 3c98e71b
    Chao Fan authored
    KASLR may randomly choose offsets which are located in movable memory
    regions resulting in the movable memory becoming immovable.
    
    The ACPI SRAT (System/Static Resource Affinity Table) describes memory
    ranges including ranges of memory provided by hot-added memory devices.
    In order to access SRAT, one needs the Root System Description Pointer
    (RSDP) with which to find the Root/Extended System Description Table
    (R/XSDT) which then contains the system description tables of which SRAT
    is one of.
    
    In case the RSDP address has been passed on the command line (kexec-ing
    a second kernel) parse it from there.
