update TODO
Seeding RNG via SMBIOS is bad idea, since often measurement of SMBIOS tables is used for TPM policies, under the assumption SMBIOS remains static after a certain point.

* sd-boot: include domain specific hash string in hash function for random seed
plus sizes of everything. also include DMI/SMBIOS blob
-* accept a random seed via DMI/SMBIOS vendor string that is credited to the
- kernel RNG, as cheap alternative to virtio-rng (problem: when credited it
- must also be invalidated, question is if we can safely do that for SMBIOS
- data structures)
-
* sd-stub: invoke random seed logic the same way as in sd-boot, except if
random seed EFI variable is already set. That way, the variable set will be
set in all cases: if you just use sd-stub, or just sd-boot, or both.
