I hope it is OK to use this place for asking questions.
In the Whonix Linux d…istribution (a Debian derivative) we've enabled loading the `jitterentropy_rng` kernel module by default.
https://github.com/Whonix/security-misc
https://github.com/Whonix/security-misc/blob/master/usr/lib/modules-load.d/30_security-misc.conf
Is it possible / advisable / discouraged to compile the jitterentropy_rng kernel module as built-in. (kernel config "y" rather than kernel config "m")
Also since it will take us a while to compile a custom kernel and ship for all users (VMs, host, ...) I have another related question...
Is it possible / advisable / discouraged to load the jitterentropy_rng kernel module using the kernel command line? Would it then load more early than if we used `/usr/lib/modules-load.d`?
