Just my 2c.
In case we talking about boot process, this is not reusing of entropy seed
(i.e. using the same one second time), but saving-restoring its state
instead. Remember - the machine is not active after the very last saving
(I assume we can safely ignore panic cases due to their exceptional
nature).
