Add support for passing saved entropy (random seed file) to the kernel
from the bootloader.  This can fix the problem of poor quality keys
for other kernel modules which call arc4random() early in kernel startup
(NFS startup, in particular, causes this).

We continue to rely on the etc/rc.d/random_seed script to save entropy
to the seed file at shutdown and erase the seed file at startup.

Boot loader support implemented only for i386 and amd64 ports for now but
it should be easy for other ports to do the same or similar.

This form allows you to request diff's between any two revisions of a file. You may select a symbolic revision name using the selection box or you may type in a numeric name using the type-in text box.
