[systemd-devel] [PATCH][v1]random-seed: Save random seed as early as possible

[cee1]

Hi Lennart,

A second thought, splitting systemd-random-seed.service into:
1. systemd-random-seed-load.service: which only do the seed loading job
2. systemd-random-seed-save.service: which will save a new seed, and
is "After", but not "Requires" or "Wants"
systemd-random-seed-load.service

Both of the services use the same binary "systemd-random-seed" with
different argv[1]("load" vs "save")

Seems better than the patch v1, what do you think?
