For x86 experts, the new cpu cap words are what needs looking over.
For example, I wonder if storing Intel's cpuid(0x00000001) ecx
register output is wise on older Intel cpus. I worry about garbage
appearing there. Is that a false worry?
This has only been tested on Via Nehemiah CPUs... I have a laptop with
an Intel RNG on it at home, and will be testing with that later on
tonight to make sure nothing is broken. I'm hoping Alan or somebody can
test AMD RNG... if not I'll poke around work and see if there are any
boxes I can test on.
WRT hw_random, the main change there is to allow multiple independent
openers to read(2) simultaneously, by removing the semaphore that
limited userspace to a single open(2)er.
Comments welcome. This patch is to be considered as a fourth patch in
the previously-posted hw_random series.
