Aside from the put_user stuff below, yes.

&batch_lock
batch_entropy_store can be called from any context, and typically from
interrupts -> spin_lock_irqsave

batch_entropy_process is called called via schedule_delayed_work and
runs in process context -> spin_lock_irq

&r->lock
the mixing process is too expensive to be called from an interrupt
context and the basic worker function extract_entropy can sleep, so
all this stuff can be under a normal spin_lock

Doh. Fixed. All the other userspace transfers are done without locks.
