A while ago a colleague asked me if it was possible to speed up system startup on IBM system Z that was slow because of ASLR and the entropy pool was empty. They had recently intoduced new crypto cards that featured good hardware random generators. My resulting code has meanwhile taken a good amount of testing and a bunch of corner cases were fixed. It should now be ready for mainline.
