[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]
