[PATCH 01/01] - Add IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal-schedule.txt (deprecated) list

[Robin Getz]

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.

+What:	IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
+Check:	IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
+When:	July 2009
+
+Why:	Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy
+	sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every
+	input point to the kernel's entropy pool needs to better document the
+	type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with
+	additional add_*_randomness functions in drivers/char/random.c
+
+Who:	Robin Getz <rgetz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> & Matt Mackall <mpm@xxxxxxxxxxx>
+
+---------------------------
+
 What:	The ieee80211_regdom module parameter
 When:	March 2010 / desktop catchup
