2008-05-30virtio: An entropy device, as suggested by hpa.Rusty Russell
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.
