When RDRAND was introduced, there was much discussion on whether it
should be trusted and how the kernel should handle that. Initially, two
mechanisms cropped up, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM, a compile time switch, and
"nordrand", a boot-time switch.
Later the thinking evolved. With a properly designed RNG, using RDRAND
values alone won't harm anything, even if the outputs are malicious.
Rather, the issue is whether those values are being *trusted* to be good
or not. And so a new set of options were introduced as the real
ones that people use -- CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and "random.trust_cpu".
With these options, RDRAND is used, but it's not always credited. So in
the worst case, it does nothing, and in the best case, maybe it helps.
Along the way, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM's meaning got sort of pulled into the
center and became something certain platforms force-select.
The old options don't really help with much, and it's a bit odd to have
special handling for these instructions when the kernel can deal fine
with the existence or untrusted existence or broken existence or
non-existence of that CPU capability.
Simplify the situation by removing CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM and using the
ordinary asm-generic fallback pattern instead, keeping the two options
that are actually used. For now it leaves "nordrand" for now, as the
removal of that will take a different route.

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. Fortunately,
each platform already has a setup_arch function pointer, which means
it's easy to wire this up. This commit also removes some noisy log
messages that don't add much.

Microwatt implements a subset of ISA v3.0 (which is equivalent to
the POWER9_CPU option). It is radix-only, so does not require hash
MMU support.
This saves 20kB compressed dtbImage and 56kB vmlinux size.

This adds Kconfig selection which allows 64s hash MMU support to be
disabled. It can be disabled if radix support is enabled, the minimum
supported CPU type is POWER9 (or higher), and KVM is not selected.

Microwatt is a FPGA-based implementation of the Power ISA. It
currently only implements little-endian 64-bit mode, and does
not (yet) support SMP, VMX, VSX or transactional memory. It has an
optional FPU, and an optional MMU (required for running Linux,
obviously) which implements a configurable radix tree but not
hypervisor mode or nested radix translation.
This adds a new machine type to support FPGA-based SoCs with a
Microwatt core. CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION can be selected for Microwatt
SOCs which don't have the FPU.
