Ethernet entropy harvesting seriously pessimizes performance

[Maxim Sobolev]

Hi,

In addition to reported earlier general machine slowdown with interrupt
harvesting is turning on, ethernet entropy harvesting seriously hammers network
performance as well. Ftping big file over my 10M network now about 15% slower
with ethernet harvesting turning on.

Mark, please get slow machine (say 100MHz or slower) and test you fu^H^Hboring
harvester on it before committing anything. The whole devrandom affair gone too
far and shown exactly how things should not be developed in FreeBSD.
