Hi, When booting a recent kernel under KVM with the virtio-rng device enabled, the boot process was stalling. Bisect pointed to a commit made during the 3.15 window to fetch randomness from newly-registered devices in the hwrng core. The details are in the patches. I considered a couple of approaches, but basing on the init() function being registered, as is done in patch 1 here, seems like
