I'm very sorry I noticed this late, but have to say this will not work for
X86 with latest kernel code.
acpi_physical_address __init acpi_os_get_root_pointer(void)
{
acpi_physical_address pa;
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC
if (acpi_rsdp)
return acpi_rsdp;
#endif
pa = acpi_arch_get_root_pointer();
if (pa)
return pa;
[snip]
In above code, the later acpi_arch_get_root_pointer still get acpi_rsdp
from cmdline param if provided.
You can check the arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c, and
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c
In X86 early code, cmdline provided acpi_rsdp pointer will be saved in boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr;
and the used in x86_default_get_root_pointer
