# Random number generator
#
# This uses a 33-bit feedback shift register to generate a pseudo-randomly
# ordered sequence of numbers which repeats in a cycle of length 2^33 - 1
# NOTE: randomseed should not be set to 0, otherwise a zero will be generated
# continuously (not particularly random!).
#
# This is a good application of direct ARM assembler, because the 33-bit
# shift register can be implemented using RRX (which uses reg + carry).
# An ANSI C version would be less efficient as the compiler would not use RRX.
