as for obsd_get_random_long().. would it be possible to use the
get_random_int() function from the patches I posted the other day? They
use the existing random.c infrastructure instead of making a copy...
As seen at
 the functions at obsd_rand.c so we wouldn't need to add more maintenance overhead, I hope you can understand why I want it like that
I actually DON'T understand that. 
What you say kinda sorta makes sense if you're an external patch. But if
you are inside the kernel (that was the goal of this patch, right?) then
the argument is actually entirely the wrong way around...
