Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC v2 0/8] get_random_bytes_wait family of APIs

As this RFC series matures, all the changes are in this branch here, to look at:

https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/log/?h=jd/rng-blocker

Ted -- there's one, in particular, that should probably be picked up
regardless of the rest, and that's "random: invalidate batched entropy
after crng init". Hopefully though, we can develop that in relation
with the rest and make this a proper series.

Anyway, awaiting your feedback on these RFC series, if you'd like to
help me help the Linux RNG.
