I can see why Linus isn't too excited about this patch: o Increased entropy pool sizes are independent. Should be a seperate patch. o Huge numbers of #ifdef's in the code are Plain Wrong(tm). o Replacing current randomization functions with new ones without lengthy explanation doesn't make me happy. Also, if the patch was inline instead of an attachment, I could easily quote it while commenting. Not sure whether there are useful things in the patch, but in the current form I wouldn't want to take it. And usually I'm less picky than Linus.
