Subject: [PATCH 0/2] s390: provide hardware randomness from zcrypt card to
 /dev/random

Hi Ted!

A while ago a colleague asked me if it was possible to speed up system 
startup on IBM system Z that was slow because of ASLR and the entropy pool 
was empty. They had recently intoduced new crypto cards that featured good 
hardware random generators. My resulting code has meanwhile taken a good 
amount of testing and a bunch of corner cases were fixed. It should now be 
ready for mainline.
