ACPI : Use RSDT instead of XSDT by adding boot option of "acpi=rsdt"
On some boxes there exist both RSDT and XSDT table. But unfortunately sometimes there exists the following error when XSDT table is used: a. 32/64X address mismatch b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8246 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> cc:Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
