<jgarzik@redhat.com> (03/03/13 1.1109)
[hw_random] fixes and cleanups
* s/Via/VIA/
* allow multiple simultaneous open(2)s of the chrdev. This allows
us to eliminate some code, without modifying the core code (rng_dev_read)
at all.
* s/__exit// in ->cleanup ops, to eliminate link error

[hw_random] add support for VIA Nehemiah RNG ("xstore" instruction)
<jgarzik@redhat.com> (03/03/13 1.1107)
[ia32] cpu capabilities cleanups and additions
* Add support for new Centaur(VIA) and Intel cpuid feature bits,
expanding the x86_capability array by two.
* (cleanup) Move cpu setup for newer Via C3 cpus into its own
function, init_c3()
* Add support for RNG control msr on VIA Nehemiah
* export X86_FEATURE_XSTORE and cpu_has_xstore macros so that
kernel code may easily test for cpu support of the new
"xstore" instruction.
<jgarzik@redhat.com> (03/03/13 1.1106)
[hw_random] update amd768_rng driver to be modular; add Intel support
Take Alan's amd768_rng driver, recently renamed to hw_random.c,
and convert it's very-simple structure to support multiple
types of hardware RNG. Integrate Intel i8xx (ICH) RNG support.
<jgarzik@redhat.com> (03/03/13 1.1105)
[hw_random] shuffle files in preparation for hw_random driver update
Delete drivers/char/i810_rng.c, superceded.
Rename Doc/i810_rng.txt to Doc/hw_random.txt.
Rename drv/char/amd768_rng.c to drv/char/hw_random.c.
