Subject[PATCH 07/12] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel parameter when trusted_kernel is true.
Date
From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com>

This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel, which
makes it possible for a user to execute arbitrary code in the kernel.
Disable this when trusted_kernel is true.
