deterministic ed25519 key generator

I think this feature is a bit too niche to support in OpenSSH and too
much of a weapon for users to shoot themselves in the feet with.

If you need such an ability, then it's pretty easy to implement as a
standalone program (like the attached proof-of-concept).

We certainly do not want to implement this by adding hooks to the PRNG.
That sort of stuff has yielded compromise after compromise in other
programs.
