f02e47dc1e Snapshot. This passes the build test, but has not yet been finished or debugged.
Contains:

* Refactor the hardware RNG CPU instruction sources to feed into
the software mixer. This is unfinished. The actual harvesting needs
to be sorted out. Modified by me (see below).

* Remove 'frac' parameter from random_harvest(). This was never
used and adds extra code for no good reason.

* Remove device write entropy harvesting. This provided a weak
attack vector, was not very good at bootstrapping the device. To
follow will be a replacement explicit reseed knob.

* Separate out all the RANDOM_PURE sources into separate harvest
entities. This adds some secuity in the case where more than one
is present.

* Review all the code and fix anything obviously messy or inconsistent.
Address som review concerns while I'm here, like rename the pseudo-rng
to 'dummy'.

c6c7b2912c Yarrow wants entropy estimations to be conservative; the usual idea
is that if you are certain you have N bits of entropy, you declare
N/2.

6472ac3d8a Mark all SYSCTL_NODEs static that have no corresponding SYSCTL_DECLs.
The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.

Also some minor style cleanups.

c06eb4e293 Change instances of callout_init that specify MPSAFE behaviour to
use CALLOUT_MPSAFE instead of "1" for the second parameter.  This
does not change the behaviour; it just makes the intent more clear.

e61a4ae50c o correct mib spelling: reset -> retest
o add #ifdef's needed to share code directly with -stable

cff5befbba FIPS 140-2 rng data tester for h/w crypto devices. This driver periodically
monitors the entropy data harvested by crypto drivers to verify it complies
with FIPS 140-2.  If data fails any test then the driver discards it and
commences continuous testing of harvested data until it is deemed ok.
Results are collected in a statistics block and, optionally, reported on
the console.  In normal use the overhead associated with this driver is
not noticeable.

Note that drivers must (currently) be compiled specially to enable use.
