Hi: Currently we always use stdrng in interrupt context, which doesn't work very well with DRBG which cannot be called there. We could change DRBG but it really does a lot of work (e.g., a reseed) in its generation function and doing it in interrupt context would be bad. In fact, the only reason we were doing this in interrupt context is to conserver entropy, which is a non-issue with DRBG. So this series changes all the RNG users to only use the RNG in process context, and then makes DRBG the default RNG.
