[PATCH] rename net_random to random32
Make net_random() more widely available by calling it random32

akpm: hopefully this will permit the removal of carta_random32.  That needs
confirmation from Stephane - this code looks somewhat more computationally
expensive, and has a different (ie: callee-stateful) interface.

[akpm@osdl.org: lots of build fixes, cleanups]

+  This is a maximally equidistributed combined Tausworthe generator
+  based on code from GNU Scientific Library 1.5 (30 Jun 2004)
+
+   x_n = (s1_n ^ s2_n ^ s3_n)
+
+   s1_{n+1} = (((s1_n & 4294967294) <<12) ^ (((s1_n <<13) ^ s1_n) >>19))
+   s2_{n+1} = (((s2_n & 4294967288) << 4) ^ (((s2_n << 2) ^ s2_n) >>25))
+   s3_{n+1} = (((s3_n & 4294967280) <<17) ^ (((s3_n << 3) ^ s3_n) >>11))
+
+   The period of this generator is about 2^88.

+        that paper.)
