[PATCH 1/3] x86/boot: add acpi rsdp address to setup_header

[Juergen Gross]

Xen PVH guests receive the address of the RSDP table from Xen. In order
to support booting a Xen PVH guest via grub2 using the standard x86
boot entry we need a way fro grub2 to pass the RSDP address to the
kernel.

For this purpose expand the struct setup_header to hold the physical
address of the RSDP address. Being zero means it isn't specified and
has to be located the legacy way (searching through low memory or
EBDA).
