Looks fine to me. If Jeff doesn't want to touch them then send them
direct to Andrew/Linus.

A more interesting alternative might be to mark things like network
drivers with a new flag say IRQF_SAMPLE_DUBIOUS so that users can be
given a switch to enable/disable their use depending upon the environment.
