random: Add support for architectural random hooks
Add support for architecture-specific hooks into the kernel-directed random number generator interfaces. This patchset does not use the architecture random number generator interfaces for the userspace-directed interfaces (/dev/random and /dev/urandom), thus eliminating the need to distinguish between them based on a pool pointer. Changes in version 3: - Moved the hooks from extract_entropy() to get_random_bytes(). - Changes the hooks to inlines. Signed-off-by: H.
