Borislav Petkov 36f0c42355 x86/boot: Disable RSDP parsing temporarily
The original intention to move RDSP parsing very early, before KASLR
does its ranges selection, was to accommodate movable memory regions
machines (CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE) to still be able to do memory
hotplug.

However, that broke kexec'ing a kernel on EFI machines because depending
on where the EFI systab was mapped, on at least one machine it isn't
present in the kexec mapping of the second kernel, leading to a triple
fault in the early code.

Fixing this properly requires significantly involved surgery and we
cannot allow ourselves to do that, that close to the merge window.

So disable the RSDP parsing code temporarily until it is fixed properly
in the next release cycle.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
