	CHANGELOG 
Log Message:
The random syscall generator has a bug on x86-64 where it only generates
random bits for the upper 32 bits of the syscall argument, and then
truncates the upper 32 bits anyway!  This patch replaces the rand()
weirdness with a function that generates N bytes of random data instead.  
It also adds a -z flag in case one *wants* the zero-arguments behavior;
Max Asbock and Russ Weight requested it because zero is a quick way to
find kernel code paths that don't check userland pointers.

+ pounder21-2006-11-07:
+ - Fix a bug in randasys on x86-64 where we had insufficient random bits and
+   would truncate whatever we got, leading to all 0 arguments by simply
+   generating enough random bytes to fill an unsigned long.  Also add a -z
+   switch to enable this zero-only mode because it found some bugs.  :) 
+ 
+ pounder21-2006-10-12:
+ - Include /sysfs contents in the hw inventory
+ - Put 'lspci' into the PCI inventory for easy finding.
+ 
+ pounder21-2006-09-23:
+ - Various time test fixes from jstultz.
+ - IPMI tests from James Simshaw/Carol Hebert.
