Here we go:

[   11.716866] PRARIT: waiting for module s390_trng to load.
[   11.716867] PRARIT: waiting for module s390_trng to load.

[   16.726869] PRARIT: waiting for module s390_trng to load.

If I'm not mistaken then there was _no_ corresponding message on the
console stating that the module already exists.
