+Subject: x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address from boot params if available
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/e6e094e053af75cbc164e950814d3d084fb1e698
+
+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.
