[PATCH 5/5] random add_input_randomness

From: Matt Mackall
Date: Thu Jan 13 2005 - 01:50:11 EST


The input layer wants to send us an entropy event per input event and
who are we to argue? Create add_input_randomness with an
input-friendly interface and kill the remaining two keyboard and mouse
sources.

This eliminates lots of duplicate entropy events while covering all
the input bases nicely. We now get two events per keystroke as we
should, one down and one up.
