systemd-random-seed.service will load the "seed on disk" to
/dev/urandom, and save a "seed" to disk when shutdown, right?

The article at http://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom/ suggests us
saving the seed as soon as there is enough entropy(means read from
/dev/random? if returns, there's enough entropy),

well, so you read the seed and inject it to /dev/random followed by read
/dev/random and overwrite the seed for the next boot - don't sounds that
good

What I means is:
1. Load a saved seed to /dev/urandom.
2. The service read /dev/random, which will block until kernel thinks
there's enough entropy - then the Random Number should be good?
3. Save the random number returned in step 2 on disk

oh yeah block at boot sounds what we want.....
