Hi Peter,

A valid implementation choice for the ChooseRandomNonExcludedTag()
pseudocode function used by IRG is to behave in the same way as with
GCR_EL1.RRND=0. This would mean that RGSR_EL1.SEED is used as an LFSR
which must have a non-zero value in order for IRG to properly produce
pseudorandom numbers. However, RGSR_EL1 is reset to an UNKNOWN value
on soft reset and thus may reset to 0. Therefore we must initialize
RGSR_EL1.SEED to a non-zero value in order to ensure that IRG behaves
as expected.

For those of us not familiar with LFSRs, could we crib a bit from the
commit message to describe why, e.g.

	/*
	 * If GCR_EL1.RRND=1 is implemented the same way as RRND=0, then
	 * RGSR_EL1.SEED must be non-zero for IRG to produce

To minimize the diff and make this more locally contained, we could
avoid the branch and relabelling by using ANDS and CSET:
	
	mrs     x10, CNTVCT_EL0
	ands	x10, x10, #SYS_RGSR_EL1_SEED_MASK
	cset	x10, ne

	mrs	x10, CNTVCT_EL0
	orr	x10, x10, #1
	and	x10, x10, #SYS_RGSR_EL1_SEED_MASK

Thanks,
Mark.
