+ * These are mostly unused legacy knobs with dummy values to not break
+ * userspace. Still in use, however, are:
+ *
+ * - /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id - a UUID representing the current
+ *   boot.
+ *
+ * - /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid - a random UUID, fresh each time.
+ *
+ * - /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize - the total amount of entropy
+ *   that the input pool can hold.
+ *
+ * - /proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold - the amount of
+ *   entropy in the input pool below which write polls to
+ *   /dev/random will unblock, requesting more entropy. This is
+ *   currently the same value as the previous "poolsize" sysctl. It
+ *   is writable to avoid breaking old userspaces, but writing to it
+ *   does not change any behavior of the RNG.
