Do you mean making get_rsdp_addr() like this?

acpi_physical_address get_rsdp_addr(void)
{
        acpi_physical_address pa;
+       struct efi_setup_data *esd;

        pa = get_acpi_rsdp();

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

+       esd = (struct efi_setup_data *) efi_get_kexec_setup_data_addr();
+       if (esd)
+               return kexec_get_rsdp_addr(esd);

        if (!pa)
                pa = efi_get_rsdp_addr();
