+Subject: [PATCH] rngd_jitter: always read from entropy pipe before setting
+ O_NONBLOCK
+
+Even with AES disabled, we want to make sure that jent_read_entropy() has
+already generated some entropy before we consider the the source
+initialized. Otherwise "Entropy Generation is slow" log spam will be
+emitteded until this has happened, which can take several seconds.
