I'm not sure why this series get posted quickly again. As for this
patch it was restructured according the early rsdp parsing code, so
personally I think keep the original Reviewed-by is questionable and it
needs another review. But I did not find time to read it carefully.

Add several cc to void it slipped.

Thanks
