>Description:
	conf/std has the following comment, which seems outdated.

	#
	# Kernel entropy pool and random-number generator pseudodevice.
	# The pseudodevice might stop being "std" when the two are torn
	# apart some day but the entropy pool itself never will (they are
	# presently implemented in the same source file)
	#
	pseudo-device   rnd

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
	a. make rnd optional again (ie. revert the band-aid fix)

	or

	b. fix the comment

	i prefer a. because it restores a kernel config incompatibility from
	the previous release.

 Log Message:
 mips/conf/files.octeon: octrnm does not depend on rnd

 Whether or not we have /dev/random and /dev/urandom baked into the
 kernel, configuring `octrnm* at ...' in the kernel config requires
 octeon_rnm.c.
