Add Ted T'so to cc list. Shouldn't he be included on anything affecting
the random(4) driver?

Which is it? A PRNG & a HW RNG are quite different things.
It would, in general, be a fairly serious error to treat a PRNG
as a HWRNG.

If it is just a prng (which it appears to be from a quick look
at your code) then it is not clear it is useful since the
random(4) driver already has two PRNGs. It might be
but I cannot tell.
