Might I humbly suggest that the kernel start providing some metatada
about the quality of the random source that userspace can consume?
Preferably by a new ioctl, so that it will fit naturally if we ever
extend /dev/hwrng to support more than one source?

That would allow for auto tunning to be implemented in userspace...
