As we are extending the base structure, why not have an RSDP paddr in it
as well? This avoids the need to scan RAM, and also serves as an
indication of "No ACPI".
Right, this seems fine to me. I can send a patch later to expand the
structure unless anyone else complains.
Isn't scanning memory the standard procedure for finding RSDP? Even if
we provide the address, guests will still search the memory (or is it
just Linux that does that?)
