7aa4389a6c o Fix a horrible bug where small reads (< 8 bytes) would return the
wrong bytes.

o Improve the public interface; use void* instead of char* or u_int64_t
  to pass arbitrary data around.

c90a8fc9a5 Clean this up with some BDE-inspired fixes.
o Make the comments KNF-compliant.
o Use nanotime instead of getnanotime; the manpage lies about the
  kern.timecounter.method - it has been removed.
o Fix the ENTROPYSOURCE const permanently.
o Make variable names more consistent.
o Make function prototypes more consistent.

Some more needs to be done; to follow.

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).

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

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
