Comment(by mstone):

 bemasc points out that the Geode has a hardware (thermal) RNG. dilinger
 adds that it has a driver at  drivers/char/hw_random/geode-rng.c.
 According to dmesg, we've even got it compiled in! (See /dev/hw_random and
 /dev/hwrng). Also see the kernel's
 [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=olpc-2.6;a=blob;f=Documentation/hw_random.txt;hb=master
 Documentation/hw_random.txt]. Perhaps we should pull a few bytes from
 /dev/hw_random into our entropy pool?
