Newer Apple firmwares on chipsets without a hardware RNG require the
host to provide a buffer of 256 random bytes to the device on
initialization. This buffer is present immediately before NVRAM,
suffixed by a footer containing a magic number and the buffer length.
This won't affect chips/firmwares that do not use this feature, so do it
unconditionally.
