    Rationale: The HAVEGE random generator has too many caveats to be a
    standard generator that people rely on. The HAVEGE random generator is not
    suitable for virtualized environments. In addition the HAVEGE random
    generator is dependent on timing and specific processor traits that
    cannot be guaranteed by default on compile time.
    
    Our advice: only use HAVEGE as an additional random source for your
    entropy pool, never as your primary source.
