This implements generic EFI core kernel code to seed the kernel entropy
pool from a Linux specific UEFI configuration table containing a random seed
supplied by the firmware. (#1)

In addition, it wires it up for ARM and arm64, by invoking the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL
UEFI protocol from the stub, and populating such a UEFI config table using its
output.

Changes since v1:
- Add a patch to actually build random.c for the ARM version of the stub, so
  that the functionality that patch #3 adds is available on ARM as well as arm64
- Handle the kexec case, by updating the seed in the configuration table on
  reboot.

How to wire this up for x86 is left as an exercise for the Intel developer.
