intel_rng:Firmware space is locked read-only. If you can't or don't want to disable this in firmware setup, and if you are certain that your system has a functional RNG, try using the 'no_fwh_detect' option.
See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-559170-highlight-.html?sid=a7efc65428c708b5d3986e327046a049
for some info on RNG (Random Number Generator).Since the error is that the space is locked, rather than missing (not detected), it may be safe to use the no_fwh-detect option for loading this kernel module.
The only issue now is how to do it. I've never done anything with options on autoloaded modules, so I have no suggestions, perhaps others can help here.
