This new device uses the seeded Mersenne PRNG we use in the kernel.
This device is not meant for regular userspace use, but more for userspace to seed their own PRNGs from.
If the DeviceFS is mounted at /dev, this device can be found at /dev/random.
Kernel: Implement a descriptor struct which stores the opened node and read offset, and give each task 8 of those.
Implement three syscalls: sys_read, sys_open and sys_close (sys_write still writes to the console instead of using a fd, for now)
Implement three new errors: ENOENT, EBADF and EMFILE.
libc: Implement the new errors, and the new syscalls in syscall().
Also fix _RETURN_WITH_ERRNO() to set errno correctly, which was making strerror() return null, thus crashing perror().
userspace: make init demonstrate the new file API.
Finally, resolve_path: a function which takes a path (/etc/fstab for example), and walks the VFS:
In this case, it would start with the root FS node, and ask it: "do you have a directory/file named etc?"
The node could say 'yes', 'no', or 'i'm not a directory, I'm a file' (should not be the case for the VFS root, but for the other ones it could be)
If it says yes, we continue and ask the child if it has a file named fstab. Etc...
