Subject: [PATCH 0/8] random: cleanup of code after removal of nonblocking pool

Hi Ted,

with the removal of the nonblocking_pool, several code paths are now unused
which were only applicable to the nonblocking pool. This patch set removes
these unused code paths.

Also, a code path in the add_interrupt_randomness function that is never used
is removed.

In addition, the FIPS 140-2 continuous self tests are required to process
the output data of the RNG given to a caller. A patch is added to cover this
requirement.

Ciao
Stephan
