I wonder if these usecases (picking 0 or 1 randomly) ought to have a
trivial wrapper to make it more obvious that we want boolean semantics:
static inline bool prandom_bool(void)
{
return prandom_u32_max(2);
}
if (prandom_bool())
use_crazy_algorithm(...);
But this translation change looks correct to me, so for the XFS parts:
