arch-riscv, dev: add VirtIO entropy device(VirtIORng) support
Systemd, which is used by many main stream Linux distributions,
will lead to slow boot if entropy is low. On X86 platforms,
this problem can be alleviated by enabling RDRAND instructions.
However, RISC-V doesn't have similar instructions. For QEMU/KVM,
this problem can be solved by passing randomness from the host
via virtio_rng. But gem5 doesn't have VirtIORng support now.
Some user report that the boot time of riscv-ubuntu-run.py is
too long. To alleviate this problem, this patch add VirtIORng
device support for gem5.
