x86/boot: Search for RSDP in the EFI tables



The immovable memory ranges information in the SRAT table is necessary
to fix the issue of KASLR not paying attention to movable memory regions
when selecting the offset. Therefore, SRAT needs to be parsed.

Depending on the boot: KEXEC/EFI/BIOS, the methods to compute RSDP are
different. When booting from EFI, the EFI table points to the RSDP. So
iterate over the EFI system tables in order to find the RSDP.
