This is useful on !virt platforms for kexec, so change things from BI_VIRT_RNG_SEED to be BI_RNG_SEED, and simply remove BI_VIRT_RNG_SEED because it only ever lasted one release, and nothing is broken by not having it. At the same time, keep a comment noting that it's been removed, so that ID isn't reused. In addition, we previously documented 2-byte alignment, but 4-byte alignment is actually necessary, so update that comment.

Greg - this has a "Fixes" tag and has been in Linus' tree for a while, and it applies without anything special, but for some reason didn't make it to 6.0.y, and I'm not sure why. So sending it to you manually. But I'd be curious to learn why the scripts missed this one. -Jason
We do not always take commits with only "Fixes:" tags on it. If you know you want this in a stable tree, add the proper cc: stable tag on the patch. That's been the documented way for 18+ years now :)
Sometimes when we get bored, we do run scripts that sweep the commit logs and pick up patches with only "Fixes:" on it, but I've been busy with other work these past weeks and have not done so, which is why this was not picked up.
thanks,
