This patchset introduces new functions into random32 library for
getting the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.
Before introducing these new functions into random32 library,
prandom32() and prandom32_seed() with "prandom32" prefix are
renamed to random32_state() and srandom32_state() respectively.
The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers
from assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure.
