ACPI : Use RSDT instead of XSDT by adding boot option of "acpi=rsdt"
On some boxes there exist both RSDT and XSDT table. But unfortunately
sometimes there exists the following error when XSDT table is used:
a. 32/64X address mismatch
b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch
In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that
RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well.
