(In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #6)

I shall have to learn to use Phabricator then. I'll figure it out as soon as
possible.

For RDRND and Via, if they don't register they'll never get called anyway.
random_sources_feed won't call their associated functions and push into
random_harvest_direct. But if the bit isn't set, then you're harvesting ent=
ropy
and throwing it away.

If you have a more elegant solution, I am open. A couple of us noodled on t=
his
and we are running it in various places in development and production at th=
is
point and it works. That doesn't mean it can't be better though.
