And here is the patch to support "random.rng_seed = XXX" option by
bootconfig. Now you can focus on what you want to do. No need to
modify command line strings.
BTW, if you think you need to pass UTF-8 code as a data, I'm happy to
update the bootconfig to support it. Just for the safeness, I have
limited it by isprint() || isspace().
Thank you,

Some bootloaders can provide entropy to increase the kernel's initial
device randomness. Say Y here to assume the entropy provided by the
