Although the decision to load the module should probably be controlled
by some other option, there's already a boot loader option for it and
folks who don't want to load the module should simply set

	entropy_file="NO"

in /etc/rc.conf .

This is not a big issue, because this whole approach is likely to change
soon.

Ciao,
