  Added files:
    sys/dev/randomdev    randomdev.c yarrow.c yarrow.h 
  Log:
  New machine-independant /dev/random driver.
  
  This is work-in-progress, and the entropy-gathering routines are not
  yet present. As such, this should be viewed as a pretty reasonable
  PRNG with _ABSOLUTELY_NO_ security!!
  
  Entropy gathering will be the subject of ongoing work.
  
  This is written as a module, and as such is unloadable, but there is
  no refcounting done. I would like to use something like device_busy(9)
  to achieve this (eventually).
  
  Lots of useful ideas from:	bde, phk, Jeroen van Gelderen
