Pull x86 grub2 updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This extends the x86 boot protocol to include an address for the RSDP
  table - utilized by Xen currently.

  Matching Grub2 patches are pending as well. (Juergen Gross)"

This field can be set by the boot loader to tell the kernel the
physical address of the ACPI RSDP table.
A value of 0 indicates the kernel should fall back to the standard
methods to locate the RSDP.
