Comment (by Ionic):

 As far as I've seen, it's disabled by default in the OpenSSL upstream
 configuration. I didn't find a configure option to even enable it while
 quickly grepping the source code, but it looks like passing `--with-rand-
 seed=os,rdcpu` (or something similar) would do that. However, the upstream
 default is just `os`. Plus, like I said, it would only work on Intel CPUs
 AFAIK, but we also have to care for the PowerPC faction. It wouldn't even
 help universally, but admittedly in most cases.

 I'm also pretty sure that mixing entropy of different qualities actually
 degrades the overall quality, but don't quote me on that. :)

 And lastly... OpenSSL doesn't really mix them all together. It picks the
 first method available and working. The other methods are only tried in
 case of errors or if no entropy is coming out any longer.

 I'm not saying that you don't have a point, but you'd have to discuss that
 with the OpenSSL port maintainers.
