[PATCH v3 1/1] x86/hyperv: Use Hyper-V entropy to seed guest random number generator

From: Michael Kelley A Hyper-V host provides its guest VMs with entropy in a custom ACPI table named "OEM0". The entropy bits are updated each time Hyper-V boots the VM, and are suitable for seeding the Linux guest random number generator (rng). See a brief description of OEM0 in [1].
