virtio: An entropy device, as suggested by hpa.
Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.
Included:
virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio
If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
random_data dynamically with kmalloc.
