Expose the ID_AA64ISAR0.RNDR field to userspace, as the RNG system
registers are always available at EL0.

Implement arch_get_random_seed_long using RNDR.  Given that the
TRNG is likely to be a shared resource between cores, and VMs,
do not explicitly force re-seeding with RNDRRS.  In order to avoid
code complexity and potential issues with hetrogenous systems only
provide values after cpufeature has finalized the system capabilities.

capabilities and move all the code into the header -- broonie]

In which case, should we also add an HWCAP for this?
