    runqemu: Enable virtio RNG for all platforms
    
    We have problems where systems simply stop booting and hang. This is due
    to a lack of entropy which means ssh keys and networking can't be brought
    up. Adding in the virtio-rng passthrough support allows host entropy to
    pass into the guess and avoids these hangs.
    
    This is particularly problematic after the gnutls upgrade which starts
    using /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom but was an issue we'd occasionally
    seem before that.
    
    It particualrly affected x86 and ppc machines for some reason.
