Bug Description
It would be a useful feature to be able to specify the ACPI RSDP if it cannot be automatically detected. So far, testing on an ACPI enabled device where the RSDP cannot be found, fwts can't run any ACPI specific tests.
It would be therefore useful to:
1. Scan the kernel log for any kernel references to the RSDP address
2. Be able to specify the RSDP using an -R or --rsdp option
Since this is based on parsed data that is open to abuse, we should also:
1. Sanity check the RSDP is on a 16 byte boundary
2. Contains a valid header
