Do you mean making get_rsdp_addr() like this?

acpi_physical_address get_rsdp_addr(void)
{
acpi_physical_address pa;
+ struct efi_setup_data *esd;

pa = get_acpi_rsdp();

if (!pa)
pa = boot_params->acpi_rsdp_addr;

+ esd = (struct efi_setup_data *) efi_get_kexec_setup_data_addr();
+ if (esd)
+ return kexec_get_rsdp_addr(esd);

if (!pa)
pa = efi_get_rsdp_addr();
