Entropy from block devices is pretty useless.  The only reason we still
keep it for SCSI is because of retro-computing platforms without a proper
platform hardware RNG.  NVMe HDDs reall should not show up in those kinds
of environments.  Also without a add_disk_randomness in the nvme I/O
completion handler this won't actually do anything.


Thanks for the details. I'll remove it in the next revision.
