167 * Initialize the random number generator.

170 * it isn't random, we'll randomize it later.
172 * The current method uses the fields from the real time clock,
173 * the idle process counter, the millisecond counter, and the
174 * hardware timer tick counter. When this is invoked
175 * in startup(), then the idle counter and timer values may
176 * repeat after each boot and the real time clock may not be
177 * operational. Thus we call it again on the first random

189 * counter, the millisecond timer, and the hardware timer
190 * tick counter. The real-time clock and the hardware
191 * tick counter are the best sources of randomness but
192 * since the tick counter is only 16 bit (and truncated
193 * at that), the idle counter and millisecond timer
194 * (which may be small values) are added to help
195 * randomize the lower 16 bits of the seed.
