These three are used by the ppp code I believe, and were until recently
used by /dev/random

These three are used by /dev/random.  SHA1Transform is really an internal
function, but is handy for some specific applications to have available.
The SHA1Update function calls it.

I think making this into an LKM will be a tough sell, and I'm not certain
it is really possible.  Some of these are needed well before the kernel
boots.

Also, having a standard set makes LKMs simplier, no?
