Compiling both into the kernel is possible, but tricky, so I didn’t do it
this time round. The reason for the trickiness is that randomdev_soft.c gets
compiled for each hash (Yarrow, Fortuna) with hash-specific #defines set.

Not insoluble, but I just didn’t get to it.

I’ll fix the random_adaptors bit shortly.
