[Jeff Dike]

This implements a hardware random number generator for UML which attaches
itself to the host's /dev/random.

+	This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator.  It
+	attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy
+	as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its
+	own drivers.  It registers itself as a standard hardware random number
+	generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is 
+	/dev/hwrng.
+	The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package
+	(check your distro, or download from 
+	http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/).  rngd periodically reads 
+	/dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random.
