Or everyone can switch to getrandom() because that's the right way

 The solution I am suggesting:
 - works today and is extremely easy to implement.
 - does not require patching busybox.
 - will work on every Linux kernel on the planet, not only new ones with
getrandom() support. And you *will* find old kernels out there.
 - does not require porting/patching applications if they are currently using
/dev/urandom.

 "The right way" had better be very right in order to be righter than that.

(If your dd copies more than one byte when you give it count=1 bs=1, it's
a bug. Can you send a strace?)
