--- Comment #14 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> ---
Hey Olivier, this is great.  I think it's unlikely we need TCP connections
before the scheduler is up.  Splitting the initialization code is not
especially burdensome either.

iderations and problems would be avoided.

As mentioned briefly in comment #4, we could attempt to poll available rand=
om
sources on demand, before the scheduler comes up.  This only works for buil=
tin
sources or drivers loaded by loader, though.
