0887c8c110 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.

02c986ab54 Very large makeover of the /dev/random driver.
o Separate the kernel stuff from the Yarrow algorithm. Yarrow is now
  well contained in one source file and one header.

o Replace the Blowfish-based crypto routines with Rijndael-based ones.
  (Rijndael is the new AES algorithm). The huge improvement in
  Rijndael's key-agility over Blowfish means that this is an
  extremely dramatic improvement in speed, and makes a heck of
  a difference in its (lack of) CPU load.

o Clean up the sysctl's. At BDE's prompting, I have gone back to
  static sysctls.

o Bug fixes. The streamlining of the crypto stuff enabled me to
  find and fix some bugs. DES also found a bug in the reseed routine
  which is fixed.

o Change the way reseeds clear "used" entropy. Previously, only the
  source(s) that caused a reseed were cleared. Now all sources in the
  relevant pool(s) are cleared.

o Code tidy-up. Mostly to make it (nearly) 80-column compliant.
