Subject: 

This patchset updates the hw_random core to use more efficient buffering.
As an example, the virtio-rng driver is converted to the new API, which fixes
a buffering bug provoked during my work writing a virtio qdev for qemu.

The old API is preserved and all existing drivers should continue to function
without change.
