After a few rounds, Dominik and I converged on a set of patches that
are now in the crng/random.git tree. Do you think you could try this
tree out against your various test environments to confirm it fixes

Tree is here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random.git

Thanks,
Jason
