+	  The Linux Random Number Generator (LRNG) is the replacement
+	  of the legacy /dev/random provided with drivers/char/random.c.
+	  It generates entropy from different noise sources and
+	  delivers significant entropy during boot. The LRNG only
+	  works with the presence of a high-resolution timer.
