I optimized it a bit further and siphash is now the clear winner over chacha:
[ 1.784801] random benchmark!!
[ 1.785161] get_random_long # cycles: 415983
[ 1.785595] get_random_long_chacha # cycles: 242047
[ 1.785997] get_random_long_siphash # cycles: 137130
[ 1.787450] get_random_bytes # cycles: 1452985
[ 1.787947] get_random_int # cycles: 343323
[ 1.788282] get_random_int_chacha # cycles: 170767
[ 1.788656] get_random_int_siphash # cycles: 86384
[ 1.789764] get_random_bytes # cycles: 2279519
And even still, there is more that could be optimized. Therefore, I'll
continue to keep this patch in the series and will CC you on the next
patch set that goes out.
