True.

Actually you mostly don't want anything inserted in that case, so it's
not bad to skip it.

I was mostly thinking this might be better than adding a completely
unrelated ifdef. Also I guess in real systems with a bad implementation
of random_get_entropy(), the second/third derivates might be
constant/zero for quite a while, so may be better to abort?

In any case, I couldn't figure out any way to not configure this into
the kernel when any kind of crypto is also in ...
