If you have 128 bits of entropy, you can generate an infinite stream of random bits with perfect security. This is why urandom should never block, except to gather these initial bits.
urandom should also periodically re-seed itself for forward secrecy. Resuming a VM session may require re-seeding as well. It seems unlikely that these operations should require urandom to block.
