[NET]: Enhanced version of net_random().
Here is another alternative, using tansworthe generator. It uses percpu state. The one small semantic change is the net_srandom() only affects the current cpu's seed. The problem was that having it change all cpu's seed would mean adding locking and the only user's today are a couple of places that feed in mac address to try make sure address resolution to collide.
