This duplicates the current algorithm for get_random_int/long, but uses
siphash24 instead. This comes with several benefits. It's certainly
faster and more cryptographically secure than MD5. This patch also
hashes the pid, entropy, and timestamp as fixed width fields, in order
to increase diffusion.

The previous md5 algorithm used a per-cpu md5 state, which caused
successive calls to the function to chain upon each other. While it's
not entirely clear that this kind of chaining is absolutely necessary
when using a secure PRF like siphash24, it can't hurt, and the timing of
the call chain does add a degree of natural entropy. So, in keeping with
this design, instead of the massive per-cpu 64-byte md5 state, there is
instead a per-cpu previously returned value for chaining.

Changes from v2->v3:

  - Structs are no longer packed, to mitigate slow byte-by-byte assignment.

If you make the first argument 'const void *' you won't need the cast
on every call.

I'd also suggest making the key u64[2].

I'll do both. Thanks for the suggestion.
