2026-03-28nvmutil: clamp rand (rejection sampling)Leah Rowe
clamp rand to eliminate modulo sampling; high values on the randomisation will bias the result. not really critical for mac addresses, but there's no reason not to have this. this patches reduces the chance that two libreboot users will generate the same mac addresses!

make it more efficient. much lower rejection rate now, about 2-5%. deal with bias, but also get numbers in bulk. not too many. i'd say this is about right in terms of performance balance. 64 bytes == 8 large integers. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
