Indeed; for RDRAND and RDSEED it makes sense to do so because the
instructions may introduce undesirable nondeterminism (or block all the
packages in your core as they have been doing for a few weeks).
Therefore on Intel we trap them and raise #UD; on AMD this is not
possible because RDRAND has no intercept.

In general however we do not try to hard to raise #UD and that is
usually not even possible.
