 I will do code review soon. I have the following design level questions for
 now -

 - I see a design document at
 http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crypto/inprogress/fips/FIPS_RNG_Design/
 Is that current?

 I would like to see a section on the design choice of
 replacing the existing PRNG algorithm in kcf_random.c with FIPS140-2
 by default. I am OK with it. But, it needs to be called out
 and justified in the document.

 - Do we discard the first n-bit block as recommended in the FIPS document?

 "If each call to a RNG produces blocks of n bits (where n > 15), the 
first n-bit block generated
 after power-up, initialization, or reset shall not be used"
