I guess out-of-the-box Linux distros aren't intended for entroy-starved
environments.
So, I guess you can fix your distro to use the driver that UML provides
or you can put up with the starvation. The hwrng driver is the right
solution, and is far preferable to whacking a bunch into random.c.
That would never make it anywhere near mainline, so you would have a
choice of dumping that into every UML pool you build or fixing your
filesystems to use the rngtools.
