There's also something which might be worth trying in coordination with upstream: credit entropy for platform RNG like RDRAND/RDSEED. It obviously won't fix the problem everywhere, but at least on “recent” Intel platforms there should be an entropy source available without any further initialization (unlike the TPM for example). I know about the trust issues wrt. Intel, but maybe that should be revisited? Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
