 * It is well-known that all maximal n-bit LFSRs will start repeating

 * This happens if:
 *
 * [1]: ((2^n - 1) * i) % (spin + 1) == 0,
 * where "n" is LFSR's bits and "i" any number within the range [1,spin]
 *
 * It is important to know beforehand if a spin can cause a repetition of a
 * sub-sequence (cycle) and its length. However, calculating (2^n - 1) * i may
 * produce a buffer overflow for "n" close to 64, so we expand the above to:
 *
 * [2]: (2^n - 1) -> (x * (spin + 1) + y), where x >= 0 and 0 <= y <= spin
 *
 * Thus, [1] is equivalent to (y * i) % (spin + 1) == 0;
 * Also, the cycle's length will be (x * i) + (y * i) / (spin + 1)
