Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] Move RSDP address out of setup_header

Instead of passing the RSDP address for Xen PVH guests from grub2 to the kernel in setup_header move it into the non-legacy part of the boot_params structure.

This patch series should be applied rather sooner than later in order to avoid shipping linux 4.20 with a corky boot protocol.
