This allows you to specify:
$ qemu -device virtio-rng-pci
And things will Just Work with a reasonable default.

This adds parameters to virtio-rng-pci to allow rate limiting the entropy a
guest receives. An example command line:
$ qemu -device virtio-rng-pci,max-bytes=1024,period=1000
Would limit entropy collection to 1Kb/s.

The Linux kernel already has a virtio-rng driver, this is the device
implementation.
When the guest asks for entropy from the virtio hwrng, it puts a buffer
in the vq. We then put entropy into that buffer, and push it back to
the guest.
