[PATCH 1/3] x86, random: Enable the RDSEED instruction

From: "H. Peter Anvin" Upcoming Intel silicon adds a new RDSEED instruction. Whereas RDRAND returns output from a PRNG, the RDSEED instruction returns fully conditioned entropy that is suitable for use as seeds to a PRNG. The RDSEED instruction takes the same time to execute as RDRAND, but
