Subject: i2o_block.c randomness patch

Hello,

I have a couple of servers that use only i2o raid controllers, no keyb, no mouse, so they don't get almost any randomness. I think there's need for a small patch on i2o_block.c file:

add_blkdev_randomness(MAJOR(req->rq_dev));

that should be added before line 449 (for the i2o_block.c found in the stock 2.4.21 kernel), the patched kernel looks like working fine.

What do you think about it?

Thank you.

Francesco Messineo
