Linux is very conservative with how much entropy it credits to things like RDRAND since they can't be easily trusted. Looks like you get one extra bit per interrupt: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/char/random.c#L937 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/char/r... You'll note no other use of arch_get_random_* throws anything at credit_entropy_bits(). Linux 3.17 did bump up the assumed quality of virtio-rnd: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/34679ec7a0c45da8161507e1f2e1f72749dfd85c https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/34679ec7a0c45da8161...
