Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 161/165] random: remove rand_initialize_irq()
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>
-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------
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() ]
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@....edu>
Signed-off-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@...il.com>
[PG: in .34 the irqdesc.h content is in irq.h instead.]
