Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random

Pull /dev/random changes from Ted Ts'o:
 "These patches are designed to enable improvements to /dev/random for
  non-x86 platforms, in particular MIPS and ARM"

* tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random:
  random: allow architectures to optionally define random_get_entropy()
  random: run random_int_secret_init() run after all late_initcalls
