feature-removal-schedule entry from 2009

[Rob Landley]

IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM is 3 years past its sell-by date in
feature-removal-schedule:

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

Who:    Robin Getz <rgetz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
        & Matt Mackall <mpm@xxxxxxxxxxx>

There are 12 remaining uses under drivers/ and 14 more under arch/, the
rest of the hits look like infrastructure implementing it.

Should I run those files through bother-maintainer.pl and try to get
people to stop it, or is there a plan underway I don't know about?
