+Subject: [PATCH] fix typo/thinko in get_random_bytes()
+Date: 	Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:50:56 -0800
+Message-Id: <4ec4061010261a4cb0@agluck-desktop.sc.intel.com>
+
+If there is an architecture-specific random number generator we use
+it to acquire randomness one "long" at a time. We should put these
+random words into consecutive words in the result buffer - not just
+overwrite the first word again and again.
