1) We dont believe its Janitor material ;)

2) If removal is accepted, we should patch all drivers at once

drivers/net/xen-netfront.c:1419:					IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM, netdev->name,
drivers/net/cris/eth_v10.c:495:			IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM, cardname, (void *)dev)) {
drivers/net/ibmlana.c:785:	result = request_irq(priv->realirq, irq_handler, IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM, dev->name, dev);
drivers/net/qla3xxx.c:3471:	unsigned long irq_flags = IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM | IRQF_SHARED;
drivers/net/netxen/netxen_nic_main.c:908:	unsigned long flags = IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM;
drivers/net/atlx/atl1.c:2575:	int irq_flags = IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM;
drivers/net/macb.c:1174:	err = request_irq(dev->irq, macb_interrupt, IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM,
drivers/net/bcm63xx_enet.c:843:			  IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM | IRQF_DISABLED, dev->name, dev);
drivers/net/niu.c:6075:				  IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM,
drivers/net/tg3.c:8842:		flags = IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM;
