Depending on its configuration Linux can use the seed as device
randomness
or to just quickly initialize CRNG.
In either case this will provide extra randomness to further harden CRNG.

Ian, Wei, can we get an ack for this patch?
This has been sitting on the ML for quite a while. I was going to commit
it as this looks uncontroversial but the patch doesn't apply on the
lastest Xen (tools/libxl was moved in tools/libs/light).
@Sergiy, would you be able to rebase the patch?
Cheers,
