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