hw_random.c already does it using userspace daemons,
which is bad idea for very fast HW - like VIA xstore/xcrypt instructions.
This is incorrect, because it implies that a user would want to use the 'xstore' feature at full speed -- which would dominate the CPU, drastically slowing down the applications that are actually doing work.
As I mentioned in another message, VIA xstore support should be removed from hw_random.c and moved completely to userspace rngd.
