Subject: Enable ixgbe as entropy source (disabled by default)
References: FATE#307517
Patch-mainline: never
Current disk-less systems have no entropy source whatsoever. Therefore, the
network drivers tg3, bnx2, e1000, e1000e, igb and ixgbe should be enabled to
feed entropy to the kernel via the IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag when loaded. This
option shall not be enabled by default but implemented via a module option to
be activated by the administrator.
