Merge branch 'x86-rdrand-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
* 'x86-rdrand-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, random: Verify RDRAND functionality and allow it to be disabled x86, random: Architectural inlines to get random integers with RDRAND random: Add support for architectural random hooks Fix up trivial conflicts in drivers/char/random.c: the architectural random hooks touched "get_random_int()" that was simplified to use MD5 and not do the keyptr thing any more (see commit 6e5714eaf77d: "net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5").
