I suspect that the root cause of this issue is that Ubuntu Pro FIPS's
libgcrypt relies on the Linux getrandom syscall accepting a GRND_RESEED
flag, but that flag is not in the upstream Linux kernel so no kernels
other than those supplies by Ubuntu Pro support it.

I think the solution is to either not use the GRND_RESEED flag, or to
submit the addition of the flag to the Linux kernel project so all
kernels will eventually support it.
