Subject: [RFC PATCH] arch/x86: efistub: Invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to seed the
 UEFI RNG table

Implement the same mechanism for x86 efistub as introduced by commit
568bc4e87033 ("efi/arm*/libstub: Invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to seed the
UEFI RNG table") for efi/arm*/libstub, and best described here and there
as:

    Invoke the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL protocol in the context of the stub and
    install the Linux-specific RNG seed UEFI config table. This will be
    picked up by the EFI routines in the core kernel to seed the kernel
    entropy pool.

As far as I can see, we do not yet make use of the UEFI RNG on x86 at all,
but only on arm. Note that this works only when Linux is booted as an EFI
stub, and that the EFI-provided randomness is not credited as entropy
unless RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is set _and_ another patch (on its way
upstream; thanks Ard!) is applied, see
	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190928101428.GA222453@light.dominikbrodowski.net/

Further note that this patch is untested, as the firmware on my old x86
laptop only has UEFI v2.31. If you want to test it, you may wish to apply
	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191005113632.GA74715@light.dominikbrodowski.net/T/#u
first to get a clear indication in dmesg.

Thanks,
	Dominik
