9What: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
10Check: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
11When: July 2009
12
13Why: Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy
14 sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every
15 input point to the kernel's entropy pool needs to better document the
16 type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with
17 additional add_*_randomness functions in drivers/char/random.c

456Why: Remove the old legacy 32bit machine check code. This has been
457 superseded by the newer machine check code from the 64bit port,
458 but the old version has been kept around for easier testing. Note this
459 doesn't impact the old P5 and WinChip machine check handlers.
