The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

The IRQ_POLL_F_SCHED bit is set as long as polling is ongoing.
This means that irq_poll_sched() must proceed if this bit has
not yet been set.
Fixes: commit ea51190c0315 ("irq_poll: fold irq_poll_sched_prep into irq_poll_sched").

There is no good reason to keep them apart, and this makes using the API
a bit simpler.

There is no good reason to start out disabled - drivers can control if
the poll instance can be scheduled by simply not scheduling it yet.

The new name is irq_poll as iopoll is already taken. Better suggestions
welcome.
