Not my call to make perhaps, but i'm nacking it anyway.

Playing games with counters and other low entropy inputs may have been
acceptable for kaslr on x86 when it was first introduced, but using it
to generate symmetric keys is really out of the question.

On modern x86, i suppose rdrand is a given, and these days we have
EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL as well (and an open source UEFI driver for ChasoKey,
btw - perhaps we should try and get MS to sign that?), although I'm
not sure whether any x86 support this out of the box now.

BTW using low entropy inputs on top of rdrand or EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL is
fine, if you're paranoid, but if you have neither of those, you should
really fail the call.
