No drivers use add_irq_randomness() at present, as I said earlier (below)
Also note that the floppy and IDE driver *look like* they use the
add_irq_randomness() because they use a SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag with
the call to request_irq(). But they also use SA_INTERRUPT, which means
using do_fast_IRQ() which correctly avoids calling add_irq_randomness(),
as it is only called inside do_IRQ(). In other words, using
SA_INTERRUPT|SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM is functionally equivalent to SA_INTERRUPT.
So to this point in time, it appears that *nobody* has used
add_irq_randomness() yet.
So you will have to put your keyboard in the bottom of your pet hampster's
cage overnight, or run updatedb at 2:30am to create some disk activity.
