* \brief The entropy API
*
* \li MP:
* The entropy object is locked internally. All callbacks into
* application-provided functions (for setup, gathering, and
* shutdown of sources) are guaranteed to be called with the
* entropy API lock held. This means these functions are
* not permitted to call back into the entropy API.
*
* \li Reliability:
* No anticipated impact.
*
* \li Resources:
* A buffer, used as an entropy pool.
*
* \li Security:
* While this code is believed to implement good entropy gathering
* and distribution, it has not been reviewed by a cryptographic
* expert.
* Since the added entropy is only as good as the sources used,
* this module could hand out bad data and never know it.
*
* \li Standards:
* None.
