Does Intel explain how to use their random number generator?  Can I do
something like:
#define  RANDOM  0xFEDCBA98     // internal register
int  MyRandomNumber;
MyRandomNumber = *((int *)RANDOM);
It's (only a little) more involved than that -- you need to check that
a new random byte is available before you read it each time, for
example.  Their web site has pseudocode and links to an API to
access it, though.  Check out

   http://developer.intel.com/design/security/rng/rngres.htm

and related pages.
