While that is one alternative, it might also need setting entropy_dir="NO", to
disable caching entropy via cron.

There are a few systems where I definitely need the entropy file, and have a
patch similar to the one attached.

For some reason, I do not like my patch.  I guess my main fear is the wear it
can exert on some devices, but I'm sharing it here, just in case it could work
for your use case.
