From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Implement arch_get_random_seed_*() for ARM based on the firmware
or hypervisor provided entropy source described in ARM DEN0098.

This will make the kernel's random number generator consume entropy
provided by this interface, at early boot, and periodically at
runtime when reseeding.
