+Subject: [PATCH] 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)
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+To: <initramfs@vger.kernel.org>
+
+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.
