Log Message:
Reduce entropy estimate for sun8icrypto TRNG.
NIST's SP800-90B entropy estimation tools put it at no more than .08
bits of entropy per byte of data(!), so estimate 100 bits of data per
bit of entropy. This is probably not conservative enough -- the NIST
tools were written without knowledge of how this alleged TRNG works!
Knowledge of the physics of how the TRNG is supposed to work could
probably enable a better job at predicting the outputs.
While here, bump the size of data we can sample directly with sysctl
to 4096 bytes.
