[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Huge bundle O' year-end questions

[From: Jason Mills]

Paul-

Thanks for the quick replies, I'll take a look at the relevant bits of kernel
source.

Thanks also for the explanation on the cache-hit/cache-miss and memory
fragmentation issues, definitely food for thought.

Would you mind if I bounced the summarized version of your original reply off
you for review and possible addition to the Developer FAQ?

Via the RNG driver. Look at drivers/char/hw_random.c as well as
omap16xx-rng.c if you want to know how it's handled.
