Hi Adhemerval,

One thing to keep in mind is that people who use CUSE-based /dev/urandom
implementations might not like this, as it means they'd also have to
intercept getrandom() rather than just ENOSYS'ing it. But maybe that's
fine. I don't know of anyone actually doing this in the real world at
the moment.
