Subject: [PATCH v15 2/6] x86/boot: Introduce get_acpi_rsdp() to parse RSDP in cmdline from KEXEC

KASLR may randomly choose some positions which are located in movable
memory regions. This will make the movable memory chosen by KASLR
can't be removed.

Memory information in SRAT is necessary to fix the conflict between
KASLR and memory-hotremove.

ACPI SRAT (System/Static Resource Affinity Table) shows the details
about memory ranges, including ranges of memory provided by hot-added
memory devices. SRAT is introduced by Root System Description
Pointer(RSDP). So RSDP should be found firstly.

When booting form KEXEC/EFI/BIOS, the methods to find RSDP
are different. When booting from KEXEC, 'acpi_rsdp=' may have been
added to cmdline, so parse cmdline to find RSDP.
