Hi folks,
This patch is a first cut at a driver for virtio-rng. Its not problem free, but
it works.
Features:
* Raw and EGD protocol support
* Rate limiting (simple)
Known problems:
* provokes a bug in the kernels virtio-rng driver that results in data
corruption.
* Does not reconnect to the host when using a socket to get data (qemu
limitation?)
Todo:
* Add burst rate limiting
* Reconnection support
With a patch to the guest kernel to fix the virtio-rng driver, I see no
FIPS-140-2 test failures.
Please review!
