kconfig: allow specifying the seed for randconfig
For reproducibility, it can be useful to be able to specify the seed to use to seed the RNG. Add a new KCONFIG_SEED environment variable which can be set to the seed to use: $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig $ sha1sum .config 70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca .config $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig $ sha1sum .config 70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca .config It's very usefull for eg. debugging the kconfig parser.
