Kernel: Make use of interrupts as an entropy source

Browse source 
Booting old computers without RDRAND/RDSEED and without a disk makes
the system severely starved for entropy. Uses interrupts as a source
to side-step that issue.

Also warn whenever the system is starved of entropy, because that's
a non-obvious failure mode.
