Do you think this one is ok? Either works for me.
[PATCH v2] x86/boot: Don't try to search RSDP from EFI when kexec-booted
Commit 3a63f70bf4c3a ("x86/boot: Early parse RSDP and save it in
boot_params") broke kexec boot on EFI systems. efi_get_rsdp_addr()
in the early parsing code tries to search RSDP from EFI table but
whose address is virtual.
Normally kexec(1) provides physical address of config_table via boot_params
and EFI code uses that during initialization.
For the early boot code, we just exit efi_get_rsdp_addr() early if the kernel
is booted by kexec.
Fixes: 3a63f70bf4c3a ("x86/boot: Early parse RSDP and save it in boot_params")
