In case of not using random-number needing feature, it makes sense to
skip RNG init too. This is especially helpful when QEMU is sandboxed in
Stubdomain under Xen, where there is very little entropy so initial
getrandom() call delays the startup several seconds. In that setup, no
random bytes are needed at all.
