This pulls all of the sysctl-focused functions into the sixth labeled
section.

No functional changes.

* Sysctl interface.
*
* These are partly unused legacy knobs with dummy values to not break
* userspace and partly still useful things. They are usually accessible
* in /proc/sys/kernel/random/ and are as follows:
*
* - boot_id - a UUID representing the current boot.
*
* - uuid - a random UUID, different each time the file is read.
*
* - poolsize - the number of bits of entropy that the input pool can
* hold, tied to the POOL_BITS constant.
*
* - entropy_avail - the number of bits of entropy currently in the
* input pool. Always <= poolsize.
*
* - write_wakeup_threshold - the amount of entropy in the input pool
* below which write polls to /dev/random will unblock, requesting
* more entropy, tied to the POOL_MIN_BITS constant. It is writable
* to avoid breaking old userspaces, but writing to it does not
* change any behavior of the RNG.
*
* - urandom_min_reseed_secs - fixed to the meaningless value "60".
* It is writable to avoid breaking old userspaces, but writing
