In linux kernel since version 2.6.19 (release Date: 2006-11-29)
Hardware Random Number Generator Core infrastructure.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called rng-core. This provides a device
that's usually called /dev/hwrng, and which exposes one
of possibly several hardware random number generators.
These hardware random number generators do feed into the
kernel's random number generator entropy pool.
If unsure, say Y.
