[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 02/18] loader/linux: support passing rsdp address via boot params

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Xen PVH guests will have the RSDP at an arbitrary address. Support that
by passing the RSDP address via the boot parameters to Linux.

The new protocol version 2.14 requires to set version to 0x8000 ored
with the actually use protocol version (the minimum of the kernel
supplied protocol version and the grub2 supported protocol version)
if 2.14 or higher are in effect.

V2: add oring 0x8000 to version field
V3: move including machine/kernel.h to patch 8 (Daniel Kiper)
