Your v3 had the right approach - you first check if you can get the
address as a kexec-ed kernel. If you do, you use that one and continue
the normal path.

If you don't, you fall back to efi_get_rsdp_addr() and get it directly
from EFI.

And then carve out the functionality you need to call multiple times in
helper functions like __efi_get_rsdp_addr().

Why doesn't that work anymore?
