Reorganise the entropy device so that high-yield entropy sources

can more easily be used INSTEAD OF the hard-working Yarrow. The only hardware source used at this point is the one inside the VIA C3 Nehemiah (Stepping 3 and above) CPU. More sources will be added in due course. Contributions welcome!

Overhaul the entropy device:

o Each source gets its own queue, which is a FIFO, not a ring buffer. The FIFOs are implemented with the sys/queue.h macros. The separation is so that a low entropy/high rate source can't swamp the harvester with low-grade entropy and destroy the reseeds. o Each FIFO is limited to 256 (set as a macro, so adjustable) events queueable. Full FIFOs are ignored by the harvester. This is to prevent memory wastage, and helps to keep the kernel thread CPU usage within reasonable limits. o There is no need to break up the event harvesting into ${burst} sized chunks, so retire that feature. o Break the device away from its roots with the memory device, and allow it to get its major number automagically.

Use __FBSDID().

Also some minor style cleanups.

Fix a buffer overrun in /dev/random which, due to the nature of the

Upgrade the random device to use a "real" hash instead of building

one out of a block cipher. This has 2 advantages: 1) The code is _much_ simpler 2) We aren't committing our security to one algorithm (much as we may think we trust AES). While I'm here, make an explicit reseed do a slow reseed instead of a fast; this is in line with what the original paper suggested.
