Jie Deng 8348800871 dm: virtio_rnd: use delayed blocking IO to make virtio_rnd works on Linux based SOS
Randomness sourced from /dev/random which does not block
once it has been seeded at bootup and you will always get
something when you read from that file. This is true on
Freebsd but unfortunately things are not the same on Linux.
Most cases, you can't read anything from /dev/random especially
on current acrn platform which lacking random events.
virtio_rnd inherted from freebsd doesn't work anymore.

This patch makes virtio_rnd working on Linux based SOS. It uses
blocking IO to sevice the front-end random driver and delays the
read operation into a new thread to avoid blocking the main
notify thread.

ACRN Device Model
#################

Introduction
============
The ACRN Device Model provides **device sharing** capabilities between the Service OS and Guest OSs. It is a component that is used in conjunction with the `ACRN Hypervisor`_ and this is installed within the Service OS. You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website.
