    lib: Add an iterator to generate primes · c79f4731
    Chris Wilson authored
    Primes are useful as input sources since they should not fall into any
    patterns that may be optimised by the drivers.
    
    An example of use this in a test driver:
    
    	uint32_t seqno, inc, count;
    
    	seqno = inc = count = 0;
    	do {
    		inc = igt_next_prime_number(inc);
    		if (seqno + inc < seqno)
    			break;
    		seqno += inc;
    		/* igt_assert_eq(test_inc(inc), seqno); */
    		count++;
    	} while (1);
    	printf("count=%u, seqno=%u, last=%u\n", count, seqno, inc);
    
    and prints "count=27878, seqno=4294845817, last=323381", or for simply
    generating the set of the first N prime numbers, use
    
    	for_each_prime_number(prime, 100)
    		printf("%lu ", prime);
    
    which prints
