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.
