Subject: [ 41/65] random: remove rand_initialize_irq()
From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>
commit c5857ccf293968348e5eb4ebedc68074de3dcda6 upstream.
With the new interrupt sampling system, we are no longer using the
timer_rand_state structure in the irq descriptor, so we can stop
initializing it now.
[ Merged in fixes from Sedat to find some last missing references to
rand_initialize_irq() ]
