Add a function to get the address of the RSDP table. Per default use a __weak annotated function being a nop.
The problem with weak functions that we can't have more than one implementation per kernel while we would like to built several code paths.
I have stumbled on the similar stuff and realize that.
Perhaps, one of the solution is to have an additional struct under x86_init to alternate ACPI related stuff.
I'm not sure if that really is a problem in this particular case.
Why would you want to use different RSDP retrieval functions for one arch?
