+Subject: random: create add_device_randomness() interface
+
+From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
+
+commit a2080a67abe9e314f9e9c2cc3a4a176e8a8f8793 upstream.
+
+Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the
+random pool that is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly
+even per boot).  This would be things like MAC addresses or serial
+numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual
+entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values
+for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little
+entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).
+
+[ Modified by tytso to mix in a timestamp, since there may be some
+  variability caused by the time needed to detect/configure the hardware
+  in question. ]
