Ah, sorry, I see what you mean now. The logic behind that is that it
matches the new API, whcih is all that will be left once the old drivers
are patched to use it. I planned to drop the helper altogether at that
point and though it'd make the patch more readable when that happens.

I can drop it if thats preferable, though.

Is this enough to get an acked-by: ? If so, I'll do that and see about
getting the change into linux-next.

Rusty: are you happy with the new version of virtio-rng ?

Cheers guys,

-Ian
