This is not going to work, I'm afraid - please see below.

The next line says it all, really: the seed is in a firmware table
somewhere, and only gets mapped temporarily here. Note that we cannot
copy it either, as we are running way before we have discovered where
RAM is to begin with.

More fundamentally, I feel we are losing sight of the actual issue.
This is another patch that makes potentially risky functional changes
to very early boot code, only so that we can manipulate the static key
as early as we think we need to.

So could we please go back to some basic questions here;
- Why do we need/want a static key here to begin with? Is is for performance?
- Why do we need to enable this static key so early?
- Even if very convincing replies can be given to the previous two
points, wouldn't it be betterr to simply revert the -stable backport
that introduces the use of the static key, and find a robust and
portable solution for after v5.19?
