More testing, either before or after merging, would be greatly appreciated. One of the challenges is that there are a lot of systems out there with different amounts of boot entropy available. So this pull request was needed to help deal with issues on crazy big machines (CONFIG_NUMA) and crazy small laptops (old/small chromebooks repurposed to support Ubuntu and small ARM systems) --- neither of which I had access to when I was putting together the fixes to the random driver.
So any feedback before 4.17 gets released would be really helpful!
Thanks!!
