+         By saying Y here the kernel will instrument some kernel code to
+         extract some entropy from both original and artificially created
+         program state.  This will help especially embedded systems where
+         there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally.  The cost
+         is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
+         irq processing.
+
+         Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
+         secure!
