Description: Initialize RNG using bootloader-supplied seed

More info: Initialize the RNG using a seed supplied by the bootloader or boot environment (e.g. EFI or a bootloader-generated device tree). This seed is not used directly, but is rather hashed into the main input pool, and this happens regardless of whether or not this option is enabled. Instead, this option controls whether the seed is credited and hence can initialize the RNG. Additionally, other sources of randomness are always used, regardless of this setting. Enabling this implies trusting that the bootloader can supply high quality and non-backdoored seeds. Say Y here unless you have reason to mistrust your bootloader or believe its RNG facilities may be faulty. This may also be configured at boot time with "random.trust_bootloader=on/off".
