Modified files:

sys/modules/randomdev Makefile
Added files:
sys/dev/randomdev hash.c hash.h
Log:
Large upgrade to the entropy device; mainly inspired by feedback
from many folk.
o The reseed process is now a kthread. With SMPng, kthreads are
pre-emptive, so the annoying jerkiness of the mouse is gone.
o The data structures are protected by mutexes now, not splfoo()/splx().
o The cryptographic routines are broken out into their own subroutines.
this facilitates review, and possible replacement if that is ever
found necessary.
