Specify a Linux specific UEFI configuration table that carries some
random bits, and use the contents during early boot to seed the kernel's
random number generator. This allows much strong random numbers to be
generated early on.
The entropy is fed to the kernel using add_device_randomness(), which is
documented as being appropriate for being called very early.
Note that the config table could be generated by the EFI stub or by any
other UEFI driver or application (e.g., GRUB), but the random seed table
GUID and the associated functionality should be considered an internal
kernel interface (unless it is promoted to ABI later on)
