[ptxdist] [PATCH 0/2] haveged: systemd service: move earlier in startup

[Andreas Pretzsch <apr@cn-eng.de>]

On a device with defective HW RNG here, it takes quite long until
the bootup is finished, as kernel random is not seeded. Leading
to blockings for anything needing /dev/random.

As kind of a workaround (until I fixed the HW RNG driver), I pulled
in haveged. To work as expected, I needed to move haveged startup
in systemd to a more earlier point.

This patch series is probably NOT for inclusion to PTXdist mainline.
In a first step, haveged should be updated to the latest 1.9.8 release.
Also, all of this here is NOT really tested or well thought out.
It just works for me (tm).
I send it, in case somebody else has the same trouble to workaround.
