Re: /sys/libkern/karc4random

:What is the point of keeping/using the in-kernel arc4
:random number generator when you already have a very
:good/superior IBAA/L15 random number generator.
:
:If you need a u_int32_t quantity then simply add a
:function to /sys/kern/kern_nrandom.c to produce a
:u_int32_t.

    There are numerous references still around, many of which can
    probably be switched to the new in-kernel ABI trivially and
    some of which probably need a bit of review first.  It is not
    on my priority list but if someone wants to start submitting
    tested patches I am certainly happy to commit them!
