Compiling both into the kernel is possible, but tricky, so I didn=E2=80=99=
t do it
this time round. The reason for the trickiness is that randomdev_soft.c =
gets
compiled for each hash (Yarrow, Fortuna) with hash-specific #defines =
set.

Not insoluble, but I just didn=E2=80=99t get to it.

I=E2=80=99ll fix the random_adaptors bit shortly.
