Bug Description

The --rsdp option allows a user to specify the RSDP address, which could be erroneous. Also, it is possible (but very unlikely) that the RSDP in set incorrectly at boot time. Currently fwts_acpi_get_rsdp() does some checking but fails to return NULL on failure so fwts segfaults. Also fwts assumes that the RSDP address is readable, but we should also catch any segv faults in case it is not.
