Bah, too bad, though it still doesn’t sound right to consume this much
entropy right from the start. I’m surprised it doesn’t make any
difference when you remove that bit.
Perhaps we should print the value of /proc/…/entropy_avail in several
places during boot time to get a better understanding.

Sounds good. I’ve pushed it as

Thanks!
