We don't want it to be possible to re-read the RNG seed after ingesting it, because this ruins forward secrecy. Currently, however, the setup data section can just be re-read. Since the kernel is always read after the setup data, use the selection of the kernel as a trigger to re-initialize the RNG seed, just like we do on reboot, to preserve forward secrecy.
