Previously if CPU chip had a built-in random number generator (i.e., RDRAND on newer x86 chips), we mixed it in at the very end of extract_buf() using an XOR operation. We now mix it in right after the calculate a hash across the entire pool. This has the advantage that any contribution of entropy from the CPU's HWRNG will get mixed back into the pool. In addition, it means that if the HWRNG has any defects (either accidentally or maliciously introduced), this will be mitigated via the non-linear transform of the SHA-1 hash function before we hand out generated output.
