The LRNG /proc interface provides the same files as the legacy
/dev/random. These files behave identically. Yet, all files are
documented at [1].

Why?

I am not sure here: are you referring to the documentation? Or the one
additional file?

If it is the documentation, do you want me to add it to the patch description?
I initially did not add it as these files were present and seemingly known
what they provide. But I would add that documentation to the patch description
if this is desired.

Sorry, I should have been a lot more explicit.  Why do you want to add
a new interface to read the RNG?  What's wrong with the old one?

I think your patch description should explain the purpose of the patch.
