[RFC PATCH v0 6/6] Temporarily pass the kaslr seed via register X1

[ardb@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, we boot the kernel via its 'bare metal' entry point, rather
than via the EFI entry point, as we haven't implemented EFI yet.

Booting with the MMU enabled requires that the KASLR seed is known
before setting up the page tables, as we will do so only once, rather
than twice when reading the seed from the DT. For this reason, the EFI
stub passes the KASLR seed via register X1 as well as the kaslr-seed
property in chosen, and those values need to be in sync.

So as long as we are not using the EFI entry point, pass the DT's
kaslr-seed value via register X1 at boot.
