What the new kernel changes have done is guarantee that your system will have enough randomness within about one second of booting so that it becomes feasible to use /dev/random as your source of randomness for everything. And /dev/urandom now becomes just another name for this.
What I would be interested in knowing, is how do they actually achieve the sufficient randomness within one second. What is the trick to achieve this? Cheers, Michael.
