Once you've taken an interrupt, you're doing IO anyway, and the
interrupt costs will dominate anything you do.
But the prandom_u32() interface is potentially done many times per
interrupt. For all I know it's done inside fairly critical locks etc
too.
So I don't think one usage translates to another very well.
