I don't think it's good that the timing of calling this is dependent
on "rng-seed" being present or not. So perhaps move it up to after the
cmdline is set.

Either way, the other issue is the cmdline is not necessarily fixed at
this point with some architectures doing their own
append/prepend/override of the cmdline. We can't seem to get common
implementation there finished. I'm doubtful that corner case would
actually be hit though.
