Yes, this is more or less the same plan I had. There's no need to add anything MD specific; we already abstract MD random sources behind the harvest mechanism. > (and requiring an NV store is not even an option to require, so don't go > there). Systems lacking both an NV store and an entropy source available during mi_startup (i.e., not interrupts...) cannot safely provide entropy in early boot. On those systems, we must disable random consumption during early boot. > What we can't do is just hang if the loader can't provide an entropy pool. I think we're all on the same page there.
