  • Each text file under Documentation follows a different
    format. Some doesn't even have titles!

    Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
    using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

    - use proper markups for titles;
    - adjust section identation;
    - use proper markup for notes and fix it to properly show the
    numbered list.

  • In April 2009, commit d405640 ("Driver Core: misc: add node name support
    for misc devices.") inadvertently changed the device node name from
    /dev/hw_random to /dev/hwrng. Since 6 years has passed since the change
    it seems unpractical to change it back, as this node name is probably
    considered ABI by now. So instead, we'll just change the documentation
    to match the current situation.

    NB: It looks like rng-tools have already been updated.

  • Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current:

    - Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the
    current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small
    sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to.
    Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end.

    - Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file
    and better explains what this really does.

    Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy
    pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with
    that important task.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
