Is it wise to call get_random_bytes once in the init function and never
thereafter?
This init function may be called during boot time of the kernel at which the
input_pool may not yet have received sufficient amounts of entropy.
What about registering a callback with add_random_ready_callback and seed
again when sufficient entropy was collected?
Ciao
