That VirtIORNG documentation page is really sad though, with all the warnings and quirks about the guest starving the host of entropy. The source end of that device should be fed by something like fortuna, or attach directly to urandom if available.
The way this currently looks to me, is that it all but ensures poor adoption rates.
bhyve on FreeBSD has virtio_random, and it simply hooks up to /dev/random (which on FreeBSD is nonblocking and can't starve).
