    kernel - Improve basic entropy collector
    
    * Faster time-buffered period in first 120 seconds after boot to help seed
      the generator.  This helps when other sources such as RDRAND are not available.
    
    * Use a systimer instead of tsleep to make the 'random' loop delay more random.
    
    * Do a better job incorporating interrupt randomness with a combination of
      counter and low TSC bits.
    
    * Get rid of the double-time-buffering restrictions (one in the thread, one in
      NANOUP_EVENT().  Also incorporate the low TSC bits in different bit positions
      to try to avoid XOR deconstruction against tv_nsec.
