Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] m68k/amiga: Provide mach_random_get_entropy()

Use the beam position registers, which provide at least 17 bits of data
changing at 1.79 MHz.

Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@...ux-m68k.org>
---
v2:
  - Use beam position registers (which provide a faster rate but less bits)
    instead of 24-bit Time-Of-Day clock in CIA B running at HSYNC.
