[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/4] virtio-rng and RngBackend infrastructure (v2)

[Anthony Liguori]

This series depends on my QOM -object series that I just posted.

In Amit's thread on virtio-rng, danpb mentioned that we really ought to have a
proper RNG backend infrastructure and of course he's correct on that.

Now that we have QOM, I wanted to demonstrate how we can use QOM to construct a
complete backend without adding any new infrastructure.

I've now implemented a urandom and egd backend and tested them.  I think the
first three patches are ready to go.

I have not changed much about patch 4/4.  There are some issues with it that
I've noticed so I'll respond here and provide the feedback.  Patch 4/4 is why
I've marked this whole series as RFC as I don't think it's ready to apply yet.
