 Modified Files:
 	src/lib/libc/gen: arc4random.c
 	src/sys/kern: kern_entropy.c
 	src/sys/sys: sysctl.h
 
 Log Message:
 Assign static MIB numbers for kern.entropy.epoch.
 
 This sidesteps any need for dynamically sized memory in userland to
 resolve sysctl names to read it out, or for a new syscall interface
 to sysctl resolution by name.
 
 It would really be better to expose this through a page shared with
 userland, so querying it doesn't cost a syscall, but this will serve
 for now.

 constructor
