\ noise generators using polynomials in GF[2] modulo a prime P[x]

\   <n2>:<n1> contains coefficients of the current polynomial n[x]
\ 1:<c2>:<c1> are the coefficients of polynomial P[x]

\ the noise generator calculates n[x] -> x n[x] mod P[x], by performing
\ a shift, followed by a conditional XOR which performs the modulo.

\ setting the lower bits of c1 to zero allows the use of different
\ degrees then 16, giving GF[2^n] for all n <= 24
