We can do this but what do we do if linker script is there
but no rsdp?
Maybe just add
test -e /etc/linker-script != RsdpAddr
dprintf(1, "linker script found but no rsdp. Falling back on
builtin tables\n");
Would this address your comment?

Hmm bios seems redundant, and tables makes one think it's the tables
themselves.
"/etc/acpi-linker"
"/etc/acpi-loader"?
