mmap - add mmap offset randomisation
Dear DragonFlyBSD bugs,
Alex Hornung recently (today ?) added mmap randomisation (security feature), but in his commit he uses:
karc4random()
When he should really be using the superior kernel random number generator presented to userland via
/dev/random
and
/dev/urandom
There are other portions of Kernel code which needs to do the same, e.g. I think OpenBSDs PF Packet
Filter uses karc4random() ....

Sincerely,
Robin Carey
