There's space to create a new random device at /dev if you want too =)
/dev/nbrandom ? no block random? :)

Convince Linus, the GPG developers et al.--not me.
No one has to convince Linus, every one is free to use /dev/urandom instead
of /dev/random.

To stop Fedora 17 /dev/random blocking I:
1) Hacked rngd to use RdRand and extract full entropy from the RdRand output
2) Adjusted the kernel pool parameters so it aggressively pulled from
rngd when the pool was less than 90% full
3) Fixed the broken rngd invocation on Fedora so it didn't silently fail
when there wasn't a TPM.
Then /dev/random didn't block and life was good.
