Module Name:    src
Committed By:   tls

Modified Files:
        src/sys/dev: rnd_private.h
        src/sys/kern: init_main.c kern_rndq.c kern_rndsink.c

Log Message:
Attempt to resolve locking issues at kernel startup on platforms with
hardware RNGs using the polling mode of operation:

1) Initialize the rng subsystem soft interrupts as early in kernel startup
   as seems safe (we have no MI guarantee that softints are working at all
   until configure2() returns, AFAICT).

   This should have the rnd subsystem able to process events via softint
   before the network subsystem (a notorious early user of entropy) starts.

2) Remove the shortcut calls to rnd_process_events() from
   rnd_schedule_process(), with the result that until the softint is installed
   rnd_process_events() is a NOP.

3) Directly call rnd_process_events() in rnd_extract_data(),
   rnd_maybe_extract(), and rnd_init_softint().  This should suck up any
   samples actually collected as early as possible.
