I think it would be essentially patching one file "paramiko/rng.py"

The StrongLockingRandomPool() class would need to be patched to use the
new functionality. I don't know if we could take it the step further and
get rid of StrongLockingRandomPool entirely, since it seems that the new
random stream functionality is done differently.

I haven't looked closely, but at least it looks like Crypto now does the
entropy seeding for you, rather than expecting the calling code to pass
in more entropy from time to time.
