  Log:
  Overhaul the entropy device:
  
  o Each source gets its own queue, which is a FIFO, not a ring buffer.
    The FIFOs are implemented with the sys/queue.h macros. The separation
    is so that a low entropy/high rate source can't swamp the harvester
    with low-grade entropy and destroy the reseeds.
  
  o Each FIFO is limited to 256 (set as a macro, so adjustable) events
    queueable. Full FIFOs are ignored by the harvester. This is to
    prevent memory wastage, and helps to keep the kernel thread CPU
    usage within reasonable limits.
  
  o There is no need to break up the event harvesting into ${burst}
    sized chunks, so retire that feature.
  
  o Break the device away from its roots with the memory device, and
    allow it to get its major number automagically.
