From 9d9b8fb0e5ebf4b0398e579f6061d4451fea3242 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Getz Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:25:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] irqs: add IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal-schedule.txt (deprecated) list This adds IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal (deprecated) list since most of the IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy sources in the kernel's current entropy model.
