239665a3bb ACPI: tables: complete searching upon RSDP w/ bad checksum. 
ACPI tables follow a tree structure in memory.
The root of the tree is the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer).

To find the RSDP, the OS searches for the signature "RSD PTR "
in well known physical memory locations.  Then the OS computes
a table checksum to verify that the signature is really part
of a valid table header.

Some systems have a proper signature but an invalid checksum;
followed elsewhere by a proper signature with valid checksum.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9444

The Linux RSDP scanning code bailed out on those systems
and as a result they booted with ACPI disabled.

Fix this by deleting the Linux RSDP scanning code and
plugging in the ACPICA RSDP scanning code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
