Yes, you said that this is a boot/compressed stage -> kernel proper info
pass field but let's document it anyway, please, and say what it is,
just like:

	1E4/004         ALL     scratch                 Scratch field for the kernel setup code

is documented, for example.

And now that I look at it, acpi_rsdp_addr isn't documented either so if
you wanna add it too, while you're at it, that would be nice.

Thx.
