Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] x86/acpi: take rsdp address for boot params if available

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.

V3: use a generic retrieval function with a __weak annotated default
    function (Ingo Molnar)

V4: check boot params version before using acpi_rsdp_addr
    use x86_init structure instead of __weak
