## Obtain more entropy during boot as the runtime memory allocator is being initialized.
## Entropy will be extracted from up to the first 4GB of RAM.
## Entropy will be extracted from up to the first 4GB of RAM as another source.
## Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically secure and so is not credited.
## Maximizing the entropy pool at boot is desirable for all cryptographic operations.
## This will increase boot time due to interrupting the boot process.
## Requires the linux-hardened kernel patch.
