Thanks for doing this. That seems like a fine initiative to me. (I'm
also curious about the future percpu changes you've got planned.)

Tree-wise, were you expecting me to take this through random.git? And if
so, what timeframe did you have in mind? For 6.12 next week (can you
poke folks for acks in time?), or punt it for 6.13? Or did you have a
different tree in mind for treewide changes (in which case, I'll send
you an ack for the [p]random.h changes).

Regards,
Jason
