Log:
  random(4): Gather entropy from Pure sources

  At initialization, hc_source_mask only includes non-Pure sources.

  The patch changes source registration to enable the registered source in the
  hc_source_mask bitmask. This mask governs which sources are harvested.

  This patch also disallows userspace from disabling such sources.
