Okay. I'm asking because it has been added to the kernel, marked stable
and the man page has not been updated. So it did not look like a
debugging interface :)

Okay. So you wrote what can be done for a system with HW-RNG/kvm. On
bare metal with nothing fancy I have:
[    3.544985] systemd[1]: systemd 239 running in system mode. (+PAM…
[   10.363377] r8169 0000:05:00.0 eth0: link up
[   41.966375] random: crng init done

which means I have to wait about half a minute until I can ssh into. And
there is no way to speed it up?
You did not oppose RNDADDTOENTCNT/RNDADDENTROPY but you wanted to make
it configureable and not default, correct?
