[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] ppc/spapr_hcall: Implement H_RANDOM hypercall in QEMU

2015-08-31 Thread Thomas Huth
The PAPR interface provides a hypercall to pass high-quality hardware generated random numbers to guests. So let's provide this call in QEMU, too, so that guests that do not support virtio-rnd yet can get good random numbers, too. Please note that this hypercall should provide "good" random data
