    amd64/efi: Remove setting hints for rsdp
    
    Given that hints set this way don't work when a static kenv is compiled
    into the kernel. acpi.rsdp has been set for this for the past 6 years,
    and all kernels in that time have used it in preference to the hints. As
    such, we no longer hints.*, so remove them.
