[PATCH] a new __init function in random.c

[Matthias Hanisch]

Hi!

The attached patch puts the following function into the .text.init
section.

batch_entropy_init
        called by rand_initialize (initfunc)

Patch is against 2.4.4pre1, to be included in the ac-series and in the
standard kernel.

Regards,
        Matze
