Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull more x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Additional x86 fixes.  Three of these patches are pure documentation,
  two are pretty trivial; the remaining one fixes boot problems on some
  non-BIOS machines."

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86: Make sure we can boot in the case the BDA contains pure garbage
  x86, efi: Mark disable_runtime as __initdata
  x86, doc: Fix incorrect comment about 64-bit code segment descriptors
  doc, kernel-parameters: Document 'console=hvc<n>'
  doc, xen: Mention 'earlyprintk=xen' in the documentation.
  ACPI: Overriding ACPI tables via initrd only works with an initrd and on X86
