[Xen-devel] [PATCH][v3] Pass the location of the ACPI RSDP to DOM0.

[Philip Wernersbach <philip.wernersbach@xxxxxxxxx>]

xen: [v3] Pass the location of the ACPI RSDP to DOM0.

Some machines, such as recent IBM servers, only allow the OS to get the
ACPI RSDP from EFI. Since Xen nukes DOM0's ability to access EFI, DOM0
cannot get the RSDP on these machines, leading to all sorts of
functionality reductions.

Changed since v2:
    * Fix coding style
    * Get rid of extra define
    * Use correct typedef'd type for the ACPI RSDP pointer
    * Better error checking conditional
    * Simplify error message
