56 * Investigate using the 'rep' prefix to obtain 32 bits of random data
57 * in one insn. The upside is potentially better performance. The
58 * downside is that the instruction becomes no longer atomic. Due to
59 * this, just like familiar issues with /dev/random itself, the worst
60 * case of a 'rep xstore' could potentially pause a cpu for an
61 * unreasonably long time. In practice, this condition would likely
62 * only occur when the hardware is failing. (or so we hope :))
64 * Another possible performance boost may come from simply buffering
65 * until we have 4 bytes, thus returning a u32 at a time,
66 * instead of the current u8-at-a-time.
