I'm not sure about the PCI stuff but uncommitted code for the EISA and MCA busses doens't require the driver deal that detail as the bus actually knows about it directly. What provision is made for turning off entropy harvesting on a per device instance basis? A hint readable by the bus driver would do this nicely as well dynamic sysctl node to allow runtime configuration. Forcing device drivers to contain specific knowledge of bus internals seems like a really bad idea. -- | Matthew N.
