This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel. This
could potentially be used to circumvent the secure boot trust model.
This is setup through the setup_arch function, which is called before the
security_init function sets up the security_ops, so we cannot use a
capable call here. We ignore the setting if we are booted in Secure Boot
mode.
