nvmutil: clamp rand (rejection sampling)
...
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.
