    rngd: new module running early during boot to help generating entropy when system's default entropy sources are poor (e.g. use of SSD disks or UEFI RNG not available)
    
    On systems with low entropy at boot, the boot can take up to several
    hours, specially when NBDE is used (e.g. clevis) which makes use of
    the random number generator.
    
    Enabling rngd service at boot early, because dracut-initqueue runs,
    enables to initialize the random number generator in a couple of seconds
    instead of minutes or hours.
