Mark Murray 585ebe2b41 Yarrow tweaks; separate the fast and slow reseed tasks so that they don't
stomp on each other; provide constant names (as enums) for the harvester
to use (makes it more self-documenting).

Mark Murray c9ec235ca1 Add entropy gathering code. This will work whether the module is
compiled in or loaded.

Mark Murray 4db9ae91ff 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
