Research direction

Start by reading random.cpp and tracing its current rand() usage. Investigate the project's existing approach to platform-specific or bare-metal device access, then determine how arc4random and a bare-metal random device should be selected and tested. Done means random.cpp supports the requested sources without breaking existing targets.
