Readd carrying on random seed between boots
This provides extra security for applications that blindly read from /dev/urandom on boot without it being properly seeded first, which is a concern for our Pine, as it generates relatively few entropy during early boot. In addition, if some misbehaved application thereafter insists on reading from /dev/random, it will virtually have an endless supply of random data via haveged. However, applications concerned with good random numbers should use the getrandom system call instead of the arguably bad designed /dev/random and /dev/urandom interfaces, so these kind of workarounds would be unnecessary.
