---------------------------

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

What: The ieee80211_regdom module parameter
When: March 2010 / desktop catchup
