From 7425154d3bbf5fcc7554738cab6dfac559ffbdda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Cooper Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 13:54:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] random: remove unused randomize_range() All call sites for randomize_range have been updated to use the much simpler and more robust randomize_addr(). Remove the now unnecessary code.
