Refactor of /dev/random device. Main points include:
* Userland seeding is no longer used. This auto-seeds at boot time
on PC/Desktop setups; this may need some tweeking and intelligence
from those folks setting up embedded boxes, but the work is believed
to be minimal.
* An entropy cache is written to /entropy (even during installation)
and the kernel uses this at next boot.
* An entropy file written to /boot/entropy can be loaded by loader(8)
* Hardware sources such as rdrand are fed into Yarrow, and are no
longer available raw.

o Allow this to work with "nodevice random" by fixing where the
MALLOC pool is defined.
o Fix the explicit reseed code. This was correct as submitted, but
in the project branch doesn't need to set the "seeded" bit as this
is done correctly in the "unblock" function.
o Remove some debug ifdeffing.

Time to eat crow for me.
I replaced the sx_* locks that Arthur used with regular mutexes;
this turned out the be the wrong thing to do as the locks need to
be sleepable. Revert this folly.

Debugging. My attempt at EVENTHANDLER(multiuser) was a failure; use
EVENTHANDLER(mountroot) instead.
This means we can't count on /var being present, so something will
need to be done about harvesting /var/db/entropy/... .
Some policy now needs to be sorted out, and a pre-sync cache needs
to be written, but apart from that we are now ready to go.
Over to review.

Looking pretty good; this mostly works now. New code includes:
* Read cached entropy at startup, both from files and from loader(8)
preloaded entropy. Failures are soft, but announced. Untested.
* Use EVENTHANDLER to do above just before we go multiuser. Untested.

* Use the same locks/mutexes all the way through.

SNAPSHOT.
Simplify the malloc pools; We only need one for this device.
Simplify the harvest queue.
Marginally improve the entropy pool hashing, making it a bit faster
in the process.
Connect up the hardware "live" source harvesting. This is simplistic
for now, and will need to be made rate-adaptive.
All of the above passes a compile test but needs to be debugged.

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'.

Snapshot of current work;
1) Clean up namespace; only use "Yarrow" where it is Yarrow-specific
or close enough to the Yarrow algorithm. For the rest use a neutral
name.
2) Tidy up headers; put private stuff in private places. More could
be done here.
3) Streamline the hashing/encryption; no need for a 256-bit counter;
128 bits will last for long enough.
There are bits of debug code lying around; these will be removed
at a later stage.

1) example (partially humorous random_adaptor, that I call "EXAMPLE")
* It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how
the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps
it should belong in a manual page
2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c
* rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()
3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"
Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.
4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.
The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)
5) fix kern.random.adaptors from
kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock
to
kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block
6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected
adaptor:
root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor
kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow

random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a
bad idea anyway, due to potential loss of entropy pools.
We currently have 3 random_adaptors:
+ yarrow
+ rdrand (ivy.c)
+ nehemeiah
* Remove platform dependent logic from probe.c, and move it into
corresponding registration routines of each random_adaptor provider.
probe.c doesn't do anything other than picking a specific random_adaptor
from a list of registered ones.
* If the kernel doesn't have any random_adaptor adapters present then the
creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.
* Fix randomdev_soft.c to refer to its own random_adaptor, instead of a
system wide one.
