The platform's RNG must be available before random_init() in order to be
useful for initial seeding, which in turn means that it needs to be
called from setup_arch(), rather than from an init call.
Complicating things, however, is that POWER8 systems need some per-cpu
state and kmalloc, which isn't available at this stage. So we split
things up into an early phase and a later opportunistic phase. This
commit also removes some noisy log messages that don't add much.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
