  • This patch implements a new method by which hw_random hardware drivers
    can pass data to the core more efficiently, using a shared buffer.

    The old methods have been retained as a compatability layer until all the
    drivers have been updated.

  • After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
    semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
    concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be
    too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
    before it happened, we had introduced the functions
    device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
    drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
    drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
    it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
    normal device unregistration instead.

    device object in a safe way during a suspend/resume cycle.
