Subject: [PATCH v6 4/7] x86,kvm: Add MSR_KVM_GET_RNG_SEED and a matching feature bit
This adds a simple interface to allow a guest to request 64 bits of
host nonblocking entropy. This is independent of virtio-rng for a
couple of reasons:
- It's intended to be usable during early boot, when a trivial
synchronous interface is needed.
- virtio-rng gives blocking entropy, and making guest boot wait for
the host's /dev/random will cause problems.
MSR_KVM_GET_RNG_SEED is intended to provide 64 bits of best-effort
cryptographically secure data for use as a seed. It provides no
guarantee that the result contains any actual entropy.
