>Description:
Rump kernels which are normally silent, without RUMP_VERBOSE enabled, nevertheless often print the single line "entropy: ready".
The message is helpful for hard kernels, but not really for rump kernels, which pretty much always just draw entropy from the host's /dev/urandom or equivalent via the rump hyperentropy source.
>How-To-Repeat:
run anything with rump, like atf tests
>Fix:
Yes, please!
Maybe printf should be replaced by aprint_normal or something, not sure offhand what mechanism will serve best to print output in a hard kernel but suppress it in a rump kernel.
