Hi Geert,

Rather than rebooting into a system with no entropy, regenerate the RNG
seed before rebooting, so that the new system has a fresh seed.

Laurent made a compelling case *against* this approach. So feel free
to drop this 3/3 patch. However, 1/3 and 2/3 should still be
committed.

For Geert's ease, I'll send a v5 with 3/3 dropped.
