commit 31f10bcb1fbc0b3a543164ae7f38d9cf8855fd17

    kernel - Update random number generator
    
    * Update the random number generator with recommended changes to IBAA.
      This addresses a short-cycle problem and prevents bad initial states.
    
    * Passes diehard (as did the original).
    
    * Note that DragonFly continuously injects entropy and was likely not
      subject to these issues, and with these changes is even less so.
