This is the intended use, avoid busy-polling of BIOS PC console if
running on HV. Avoid 100% CPU usage at boot prompt on hypervisors.
Originally I unconditionally reverted the polling part, which was
introduced only for Intel Mac Mini. After brief discussion with mikeb@,
I decided to leave that

Factor out CPUID code in mdrandom(), invoke it once, then save the
result. I'll use it to switch behavior depending on HV or not.
efiboot is not tested.
Comments?

I don't understand the purpose of the refactoring.
The process I see here the submission of 2 seperate diffs to

The diffs also do not come with a report as to what machines were
