I guess I don't understand the context enough here to give you a Signed-off-by. Can you give us more background on this randomization?
From what I see in the code here, I can see you are providing equivalent functionality and I would give it a signed-off-by, but I am not sure this randomization of which you speak is not going to cause problems for XP, XPC, XPNET, and XPMEM (out of tree GPL kernel module).
