    sys/sys              random.h 
    sys/dev/randomdev    randomdev.c yarrow.c 
  Log:
  Add randomness write functionality. This does absolutely nothing for
  entropy estimation, but causes an immediate reseed after the input
  (read in sizeof(u_int64_t) chunks) is "harvested".
  
  This will be used in the reboot "reseeder", coming in another
  commit. This can be used very effectively at any time you think
  your randomness is compromised; something like
  
  # (ps -gauxwww; netstat -an; dmesg; vmstat -c10 1) > /dev/random
  
  will give the attacker something to think about.
