Hi,
http://dev.gentoo.org/~pappy/kernel/linux-2.6.21.5-get_urandom_long-AT_ENTROPY.patch
this patch adds the function drivers/char/random.c:get_random_long()
and adds an AT_ENTROPY field in the auxv without config option
(the config option was removed as suggested by Arjan on LKML).
README: get_random_long() and AT_ENTROPY support for auxv
