The RNG incorporates RDRAND into its state at boot and every time it reseeds, so there's no reason for callers to use it directly. The hashing that the RNG does on it is preferable to using the bytes raw. The only current use case of get_random_bytes_arch() is vsprintf's siphash key for pointer hashing, which uses it to initialize the pointer secret earlier than usual if RDRAND is available. In order to replace this narrow use case, just expose whether RDRAND is mixed into the RNG, with a new function called rng_has_arch_random(). With that taken care of, there are no users of get_random_bytes_arch() left, so it can be removed. Later, if trust_cpu gets turned on by default (as most distros are doing), this one use of rng_has_arch_random() can probably go away as well.
