I doesn't look really trivial...

To manage the buf field you must read buf_size and it cannot be done in 
a generic way: you must define a function to translate the buffer, use 
IOCTL_SPECIAL() with RNDADDENTROPY and RNDGETPOOL.

You should send your patch using "git send-email" or "git publish" 
instead of adding it in you email client.

..., MK_PTR(TYPE_INT)

... MK_PTR(MK_STRUCT(STRUCT_rand_pool_info))

Thanks,
