 * Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) is used on the output of
 * a (raw) entropy source, its security level must be at least 256
 * bits."  The EDK2 codebase (mis)interprets this to mean that the
 * call to GetRNG() should fail if given a buffer less than 32 bytes.
 *
 * Incidentally, nothing in the EFI RNG protocol provides any way to
 * report the actual amount of entropy returned by GetRNG().

 * seems to often return immediately, which produces almost no
 * entropy.  Specify a delay of 1000ns to try to force an existent
