Just curious how difficult do you think a port back to an old 2.6 kernel would be?

The LRNG code is quite self-contained. That means it hardly needs anything
from the kernel code apart the common service functions like locks and the
like.
That said, it should be possible (if you remove the Jitter RNG entropy
source). But expect small patches to be added when the mentioned service
functions are different.
