Resend with Daniel's mailo address corrected
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.
Juergen Gross (2):
x86/boot: revert commit ae7e1238e68f2a (Add ACPI RSDP address to
setup_header)

In case the RSDP address in struct boot_params is specified don't try
to find the table by searching, but take the address directly as set
by the boot loader.

2.16.4
Peter Anvin pointed out that commit ae7e1238e68f2a ("x86/boot: Add
ACPI RSDP address to setup_header") should be reverted as setup_header
should contain only items set by legacy BIOS.
So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the depending
commit 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.

FWIW, I can confirm that I can boot a Xen domU in PVH mode with the
following four patches added on top of Linux 4.19.5 (applied in this
order), in combination with grub master branch with patchset v5 for grub
on top:
Date: Wed Oct 10 08:14:55 2018 +0200
x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header
Date: Wed Oct 10 08:14:56 2018 +0200
x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available
Date: Tue Nov 20 08:25:28 2018 +0100
x86/boot: revert commit ae7e1238e68f2a (Add ACPI RSDP address to
setup_header)
Date: Tue Nov 20 08:25:29 2018 +0100
x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address from boot params if available
[ 0.205884] Booting paravirtualized kernel on Xen PVH
Thanks,
