I wrote a little HW random number generator based on hw_random.c. It hooks itself up to major 10, minor 183, which seems to be the standard for a HW RNG. The standard name for this seems to be /dev/hwrng.
I don't know if the ususal random number consumers look for /dev/hwrng before /dev/random, but if they do, this driver should fix their problems. If not, you can always change your /dev/random to (10, 183). For now, the patch is "random" at http://user-mode-linux.sf.net/patches.html It'll be merged into mainline probably soonish, after the blatant bug fixes.
