Ted -
I'd suggest the following to test.
Boot an arbitrary Linux system with init=/usr/bin/python3 (assuming filesystems mounted etc). Python 3.5.1 (on Linux) will call getrandom() in blocking mode very early in its startup; if this happens before the pool is initialized, Python will fail to start. Given that ~nothing else will be happening, I'm interested to see what happens to the entropy pool, and whether getrandom() returns.
Haven't tried this myself, but it should work.
