    rdrand - Document massive improvement in performance
    
    * Document the huge difference going from 512 to 16 bytes.  General
      system performance is improved by 9.3% on a TR3990X.
    
      This is not entirely the fault of rdrand.  It is also in a large
      part due to the overhead of add_buffer_randomness().
