Actually, this file has been converted to json-schema and lives
here[1]. I need to remove this one (or leave it with a reference to
the new one).

Why only 64-bytes?

Why is this arch specific and why can't this be done after
unflattening? It doesn't look like add_device_randomness() needs
anything early.
