   Are there any (continues) selftests performed on the data that
   comes out of fast/strong?

Yes, for cprng_strong.  However, statistical tests on the output of a
cryptographic PRNG will not detect failure to seed it.  They will
detect only catastrophic bugs in the PRNG itself.  (They will also
sometimes spuriously fire, as is the nature of statistical tests on
uniform random data.)
