[PATCH] hw/arm: add control knob to disable kaslr_seed via DTB

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

Generally a guest needs an external source of randomness to properly
enable things like address space randomisation. However in a trusted
boot environment where the firmware will cryptographically verify
components having random data in the DTB will cause verification to
fail. Add a control knob so we can prevent this being added to the
system DTB.
