This kernel can be built and boot without any problem.
Building a kernel with this kernel also works fine.

 - Build Machine: debian wheezy x86_64
   CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz x 4
   memory: 8GB

 - Test machine: debian wheezy x86_64(KVM guest on the Build Machine)
   vCPU: x2
   memory: 2GB

I reviewed the following patches.

There is a memory leak possibility at unloding rng-core.ko as I replied
to this patch. However I consider it doesn't need to be dropped here since
this memory leak only happen with CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m and unloading
rng-core.ko seldom happens.

Theese patches looks good to me.
