As I said in a previous mail, "nothing". :-)

I'm looking at the new "adaptors" code and wondering what its for.

If the current three /dev/random drivers were each in KLDs,
then kldloading the one you wanted would be sufficient without
the extra complexity.

Yes, this does represent a change of mind on my part; I was initially
enthusiastic about this.
