Subject: Linux messages full of `random: get_random_u32 called from`

Dear Linux folks,

Since Linux 4.17-rcX, Linux spams a lot of `random: get_random_u32 
called from` messages. I believe, this setting should be reverted by 
default as otherwise a lot of other messages are not seen.

Please find my configuration attached.

Kind regards,

Paul
