> With the changes in the random tree, IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM is now a
> no-op; interrupt randomness is now collected unconditionally in a very
> low-overhead fashion; see commit 775f4b297b. The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
> flag was scheduled to be removed in 2009 on the
> feature-removal-schedule, so this patch is preparation for the final
> removal of this flag.
