    The filename can be overridden but it expects a non-blocking source of entropy.
    A typical invocation would be:
    
    qemu -object rng-random,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0
    
    This can also be used with /dev/urandom by using the command line:
    
    qemu -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \
         -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0

    v1 -> v2
     - merged header split patch into this one
    v2 -> v3
