I guess Boris is suggesting code like below. Please correct me if I am
wrong.

static acpi_physical_address _efi_get_rsdp_addr(efi_config_table tbl, ...)
{
/* Get EFI tables from systab. */
for (i = 0; i < nr_tables; i++) {
...
}
return rsdp_addr;
}

static acpi_physical_address efi_get_rsdp_addr(void)
{
...
/* Get systab from boot params. */
...
/* Handle EFI bitness properly */
...
return _efi_get_rsdp_addr();
}


static acpi_physical_address kexec_get_rsdp_addr(void)
{
if (!is_kexec_booted)
return 0;

efi_get_setup_data_addr();
...
/* Handle EFI bitness properly */
...
return _efi_get_rsdp_addr();
}

acpi_physical_address get_rsdp_addr(void)
{
acpi_physical_address pa;

pa = get_acpi_rsdp();

if (!pa)
pa = boot_params->acpi_rsdp_addr;


/**
/*I think here we should check if it's kexec booted firstly.
* Skip it if not kexec. this can avoid the wrong kexec virt
* addr parsing./
if (!pa)
pa = kexec_get_rdsp_addr(); <--- new function

if (!pa)
pa = efi_get_rsdp_addr();

if (!pa)
pa = bios_get_rsdp_addr();

return pa;
}
