I got this error when trying to use /dev/urandom as a backend for
virtio-rng. Is there a reason for that? Plain qemu allows you to
specify /dev/urandom and seems to work OK.
There's a tetchy bugzilla on this subject:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074464
but I think for cases where people don't care / throwaway appliances,
we should allow /dev/urandom. The main reason is that it doesn't
block.
Patch attached.
Rich.
