How about the non-NAPI and non-throttled case? I would argue that without any irq
mitigation we can still use SA_RANDOM. Many (e.g. embedded) devices will want some

When was the last time we added a new driver for new hardware, and it 
didn't support NAPI and/or hw mitigation?  They are few and far between, 
and getting ever more rare.

extra form of entropy, and providing them it in this form will be very beneficial
as these devices more commonly have no other form of entropy anymore.

"no other form of entropy"?   See examples in this thread.
