Entropy gathering via timer ticks is slow under UEFI (of the order of 20-30 seconds on some machines). Use the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL if available, to speed up the process of entropy gathering. Note that some implementations (including EDK2) will fail if we request fewer than 32 random bytes at a time, and that the RNG protocol provides no guarantees about the amount of entropy provided by a call to GetRNG(). We take the (hopefully pessimistic) view that a 32-byte block returned by GetRNG() will contain at least the 1.3 bits of entropy claimed by min_entropy_per_sample().
