i noted about 2 weeks ago about incorrect kernel interface descriptions 
in random(4) in this maillist but got no response. once again, there's 
no function defined as void add_interrupt_randomness(int irq) as stated 
in the manpage.
unfortunately i don't have enough time & kernel hacking experience to 
fix that for now. since the 1st stage of my current project finishes on 
october 20 i could try to hack it out later. there's a simpler way -- it 
is to change the manpage to define the correct function void 
add_interrupt_randomness(void *vsc) as defined in 
/sys/kern/kern_random.c it could be easy to change the function itself, 
but it's used pretty tricky way in the kernel sources (2 times only 
though: /sys/alpha/alpha/mem.c & /sys/i386/i386/mem.c). there's a 
function defined as inthand2_t add_interrupt_randomness; in 
/sys/sys/random.h as well.
