Following up on this on (time flies!) I have moved the code up into the arch-independent hw_random code and split it into 3 patches. First generate the injection point for true HWRNGs, then create a thread that makes use of it and finally add some simple on/off switch. The latter could be replaced with something far more sophisticated if desired.
