Tell the Linux kernel folks to trust RDSEED or RDRAND instructions...

Oh, good grief.  Here's "a Linux kernel folk" on RDRAND:

onses/9066

Don't like RDRAND?  Fine, don't use it.  But please, don't tell me hardware
RNGs are rare or exotic nowadays.  They're not.  On consumer and
server-grade hardware they're as common as dirt, and I'd like it if the
OpenPGP spec reflected that reality.
