Taking the minimum is wrong, if the bootloader or EFI stub is actually passing on a bunch of bytes that it expects the kernel to hash itself. Ideally, a bootloader will hash it for us, but STUB won't do that, so we should map all the bytes. Also, all those bytes must be zeroed out after use to preserve forward secrecy.

Thanks. I'll just incorporate this into the patch that does the concatenation of seeds in the stub, which is queued up for v6.2
