It only bootable when people provide acpi_rsdp via cmdline or
boot_params. According to current code logic, cmdline/boot_param is
handled first so kexec boot will not work in this case.
The early code hang can make people confused, it is hard to
say what happens and not easy to debug. But if we return 0 then kernel
just continue to boot, and fail later because of no acpi root pointer, at
least we can have some kernel boot log.
Thanks
