UEFI possess monotonic counters useful for randomness seeding.

These APIs are used, e.g. in systemd-stub, to perform randomness seeding.

Checklist

  • Sensible git history (for example, squash "typo" or "fix" commits). See the Rewriting History guide for help.
  • Update the changelog (if necessary)

Interesting, never heard of that thing 😀 LGTM!

Do you need a release soon for that or is it okay to depend on the git dependency for a while?

No hurry, we will vendor this method for now for our needs! Once you create a release, we will switch to your version, thank you so much for the fast timearound!!
