Yes.

I would start with an assumption that SSEED=1 (so that we can use it at all),
USEED=0 (because many systems will want to prevent unprivileged access to raw
hardware randomness, so we don't want the uABI to guarantee accessibility of
seed until a mechanism has been defined to communicate USEED to userspace),
and there is no nonstandard extension on the FWFT extension ID or nonstandard
use of reserved feature space (so we can probe for the USEED feature to
become available; this can be tightened once a specific feature ID is
allocated for USEED).

I assumed earlier in the thread that we would communicate USEED to userspace
by conditionally setting the RISCV_HWPROBE_EXT_ZKR flag.  This was an error
on my part as I assumed hwprobe could return different values per process,
but it uses data from the vvar area which only exists once per time
namespace.  A new mechanism will need to be developed.
