The hardware RNG on POWER8 and POWER7+ can be relatively slow, since
it can only supply one 64-bit value per microsecond. Currently we
read it in arch_get_random_long(), but that slows down reading from
/dev/urandom since the code in random.c calls arch_get_random_long()
for every longword read from /dev/urandom.
Since the hardware RNG supplies high-quality entropy on every read, it
matches the semantics of arch_get_random_seed_long() better than those
of arch_get_random_long(). Therefore this commit makes the code use
the POWER8/7+ hardware RNG only for arch_get_random_seed_{long,int}
and not for arch_get_random_{long,int}.
This won't affect any other PowerPC-based platforms because none of
them currently support a hardware RNG. To make it clear that the
ppc_md function pointer is used for arch_get_random_seed_*, we rename
it from get_random_long to get_random_seed.
