Provides a custom seed for the <varname>RANDSTRUCT</varname> security
option of the Linux kernel. Note that <varname>RANDSTRUCT</varname> is
only enabled in NixOS hardened kernels. Using a custom seed requires
building the kernel and dependent packages locally, since this
customization happens at build time.
