Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 001/213] x86, random: make ARCH_RANDOM prompt if EMBEDDED, not EXPERT

From: Romain Francoise <romain@...bokech.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

Before v2.6.38 CONFIG_EXPERT was known as CONFIG_EMBEDDED but the
Kconfig entry was not changed to match when upstream commit
628c6246d47b85f5357298601df2444d7f4dd3fd ("x86, random: Architectural
inlines to get random integers with RDRAND") was backported.
