Subject: [PATCH 0/3] random driver improvements

After going through a very long thread, and trying to work out things in
words, I was frustrated enough that I decided a good way to improve the
conversation was to do it in code instead of words.

I don't think any of this should be controversial...

Theodore Ts'o (3):
  random: always update the entropy pool under the spinlock
  random: remove unneeded hash of a portion of the entropy pool
  random: only update the last_pulled time if we actually transferred
    entropy
