+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
