Added files:
sys/dev/randomdev randomdev.c yarrow.c yarrow.h
Log:
New machine-independant /dev/random driver.
This is work-in-progress, and the entropy-gathering routines are not
yet present. As such, this should be viewed as a pretty reasonable
PRNG with _ABSOLUTELY_NO_ security!!
Entropy gathering will be the subject of ongoing work.
This is written as a module, and as such is unloadable, but there is
no refcounting done. I would like to use something like device_busy(9)
to achieve this (eventually).
Lots of useful ideas from: bde, phk, Jeroen van Gelderen
