SubjectRe: [PATCH] random, Add user configurable get_bytes_random()
BTW, note the following article, published today:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/06/us/nsa-foils-much-internet-encryption.html?pagewanted=all

"By this year, the Sigint Enabling Project had found ways inside some
of the encryption chips that scramble information for businesses and
governments, either by working with chipmakers to insert back doors...."

Relying solely and blindly on a magic hardware random number generator
which is sealed inside a CPU chip and which is impossible to audit is
a ***BAD*** idea.
