From 3841840449817ba6cf3e636008bc4e1061a03388 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 08:25:28 +0100 Subject: x86/boot: Mostly revert commit ae7e1238e68f2a ("Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header") Peter Anvin pointed out that commit: ae7e1238e68f2a ("x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header") should be reverted as setup_header should only contain items set by the legacy BIOS. So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the dependent commit of: e7b66d16fe4172 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available") just remove the setup_header reference in order to replace it by a boot_params in a followup patch.
