15 * RDRAND has Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) that runs on every invocation.
16 * Run the instruction a few times as a sanity check. Also make sure
17 * it's not outputting the same value over and over, which has happened
18 * as a result of past CPU bugs.
20 * If it fails, it is simple to disable RDRAND and RDSEED here.
