Subject: x86/xen: Add pvh specific rsdp address retrieval function

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>

[ Upstream commit b17d9d1df3c33a4f1d2bf397e2257aecf9dc56d4 ]

Add pvh_get_root_pointer() for Xen PVH guests to communicate the
address of the RSDP table given to the kernel via Xen start info.

This makes the kernel boot again in PVH mode after on recent Xen the
RSDP was moved to higher addresses. So up to that change it was pure
luck that the legacy method to locate the RSDP was working when
running as PVH mode.
