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. (From OE-Core rev: 51b001909f1856c45cf87091d6e4446c266d5786) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
