Doesn't compile on Apple Silicon

Trying to compile this crate on Apple M1 Silicon errors with

Oh thinking a bit further about it, is do those chips even have a rdrand instruction?

Apple Silicon does not support the instruction, but it would still be nice to compile to a crate that does not have any functionality and just returns errors at runtime, just like they return errors when the instruction is not supported on x86_64, so that this kind of conditionality wasn’t necessary in the users’ code.
