hmmmm.

Honestly I would rather just remove the VIA support from the kernel
completely: it belongs in the userspace rngd
(http://sf.net/projects/gkernel/)

I've been meaning to do this for a while, wanna volunteer? ;-)

The current code is stable and doesn't need module parameters, so I
would prefer to just modify userspace rngd instead.
