Out of curiousity, has anyone looked into using cpu temperature and fan speed as an entropy source? The thought came to last time I was in bios, looking at the temperature stats; to my untrained eye, it sure looks like those numbers bounce around a lot. I think most motherboards are coming with such sensors onboard these days, and I also believe that we have userland support for reading the values.
I think we're doing just fine wrt entropy in -current, but it would still be rather neat to harvest hardware-derived entropy on a wide variety of machines.
