Title:
  Cloud-init causes potentially huge boot delays with 4.15 kernels

Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in cloud-init source package in Bionic:
  New
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Newer 4.15 kernels contain the following fix for CVE-2018-1108:
    43838a23a05fb ("random: fix crng_ready() test")

  This causes cloud-init to stall for a potentially long time during
  boot (waiting for entropy I presume). Google reported boot delays of
  75 minutes.

  I've tracked this down to the following import in templater.py which causes 
the delay:
      from jinja2 import Template as JTemplate

  Which is called when cc_update_etc_hosts is imported.
