There are numerous places in the kernel that would be sped up by having
smaller batches. Currently those callsites do `get_random_u32() & 0xff`
or similar. Since these are pretty spread out, and will require patches
to multiple different trees, let's get ahead of the curve and lay the
foundation for `get_random_u8()` and `get_random_u16()`, so that it's
then possible to start submitting conversion patches leisurely.
