Entropy from block devices is pretty useless. The only reason we still
keep it for SCSI is because of retro-computing platforms without a proper
platform hardware RNG. NVMe HDDs reall should not show up in those kinds
of environments. Also without a add_disk_randomness in the nvme I/O
completion handler this won't actually do anything.
