sendmsg is used for "Additional Data" input, and unlike entropy, it
could be useful outside of testing. But if you confirm it's not
useful, then yes, I can decouple the testing parts.

Depends on the comment above, but otherwise, my only concern is that
the testing variant of rng_recvmsg would be largely copy-pasted from
the normal rng_recvmsg, apart from a few lines of lock/release and
crypto_rng_generate/crypto_rng_get_bytes.


Thanks!
