This is a reasonable use.. This can simply be implemented in the primitive
where /dev/random is used. It would only need a HW check during initialization
to enable using the DRNG or leave it as is in the event HW does not support it..

Hello,
I work in the Open Source Technology group at Intel in the security group.
I have been tasked with contacting the maintainer of libnss to start
discussions about the possibility of Intel submitting patches to enable the new
HW based digital random number generator.
