Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/boot: revert commit ae7e1238e68f2a (Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header)
Peter Anvin pointed out that commit ae7e1238e68f2a ("x86/boot: Add
ACPI RSDP address to setup_header") should be reverted as setup_header
should contain only items set by legacy BIOS.
So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the depending
commit e7b66d16fe4172 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot
params if available") just remove the setup_header reference in order
to replace it by a boot_params in a followup patch.
