Re this patch, wouldn't this much smaller change fix the immediate issue?

--- a/sys/sys/random.h
+++ b/sys/sys/random.h
@@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ enum random_entropy_source {
        ENTROPYSOURCE
 };

-#define RANDOM_HARVEST_EVERYTHING_MASK ((1 << (RANDOM_ENVIRONMENTAL_END + =
1))
- 1)
+#define RANDOM_HARVEST_EVERYTHING_MASK ((1 << ENTROPYSOURCE) - 1)


Changing the sysctl behaviors seems orthogonal to that change.  Sure, the
sysctls will not accurately reflect Pure sources.  But they will be harvest=
ed
correctly, I think.  Please let me know if I misunderstand.

Thanks!
