That said, what's the reason for having a userspace component for this
at all? Why isn't all of this done inside the kernel? I mean, the kernel
/dev/random stuff already has hooks into various subsystems to get
entropy, it sounds trivial to also hook up RDRAND with it?
Maintaing complex userspace infrastructure where a 20 line kernel patch
or so would suffice too, doesn't sound ideal to me?
Unfortunately kernel developers seem to insist in pushing into userspace
stuff that belongs to the kernel (notable exception on this is RDRAND
that is actually used by the kernel to feed the entropy pool...)
