TL;DR:  see the comment below.
+ * Hacky workaround for the fact that some processes
+ * ask for truly secure random numbers and absolutely want
+ * to wait for the entropy pool to fill, and others just
+ * do "getrandom(0)" to get some ad-hoc random numbers.
+ *
+ * If you're generating a secure key, you'd better ask for
+ * more than 128 bits of randomness. Otherwise it's not
+ * really all that secure by definition.
+ *
+ * We should add a GRND_SECURE flag so that people can state
+ * this "I want secure random numbers" explicitly.
