AWS Graviton based systems provide an Arm SMC call in the vendor defined
hypervisor region to read random numbers from a HW TRNG and return them to the
guest. 

We've observed slower guest boot and especially reboot times due to lack of
entropy and providing access to a TRNG is meant to address this.
