Subject: [PATCH] lib/csrand.c: Fix the lower part of the domain of
csrand_uniform()
I accidentally broke this code during an un-optimization. We need to
start from a random value of the width of the limit, that is, 32 bits.
Thanks to Jason for pointing to his similar code in the kernel, which
made me see my mistake.
