[BUG/Question] HyperV Entropy doesn't appear to be consumed through new agent system
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
Per the README, Consume Hyper-V entropy for /dev/random this appears to only be done through the waagent2.0 script. The waagent script will only run the waagent2.0 script when __name__ == 'waagent'.
Unless I’m missing some other way that HyperV Entropy is being consumed especially since the HyperV VMBUS doesn’t invoke the LRNG interrupt handler in the Linux kernel.

@kovacs-andras @colemickens The Agent was rewritten in late 2014 and the new version did not include this code, but the documentation was not updated. I have updated the documentation. The VM Agent is not the best place to do this; the place where it was done in the code may be too late for components that need this during boot. Also, the agent can be disabled/deleted. We are not planning on adding this functionality back.
So is it not necessary to do this anymore in Azure VMs or… why was this functionality removed?
