I don't want to get into a debate on what's more superior because DPDK already have similar
Setups, take OpenSSL and Marvell's security accelerator for instance. Rationale is simple it boils
down to freedom of choice. 

I have been reiterating that I'm ready to make Kernel getrandom() the default in rte_csrand()
and HW RNG (not limited Arm) a build time option along with your other demands for various
optimizations. Having a build time option to enable HW CSRNG doesn't hinder your freedom to
choose a CSRNG implementation of your linking. 
Neither you nor I are in a place to decide what's right for others; the best we can do is to
collaborate on providing them with options. Leave the decision to users, application developers,
and integrators.

I believe that the coexistence of support for OpenSSL and other HW security accelerators in
DPDK already establishes rationale and precedent.
