I think it's best if we leave this out for now, unless we can come up with some way of merging this with the hardware RNG interface so that we are not duplicating an existing user interface. Could we perhaps merge this with the HWRNG interface somehow? Or maybe we should just expose ansi_cprng (I presume you only need that) through the hwrng interface?
