Thanks for your advices.

My use case only requires support for RNDGETENTCNT... Considering that
RNDADDENTROPY and RNDGETPOOL are non trivial, would a patch with only
RNDGETENTCNT, RNDADDTOENTCNT, RNDZAPENTCNT and RNDCLEARPOOL be accepted?

Note: I swapped the types of RNDADDTOENTCNT and RNDGETPOOL...
