Tuomas Tynkkynen dda74d9e50 nixos/qemu-vm: Always add a virtio RNG device to the quest
mke2fs has this annoying property that it uses getrandom() to get random
numbers (for whatever purposes) which blocks until the kernel's secure
RNG has sufficient entropy, which it usually doesn't in the early boot
(except if your CPU supports RDRAND) where we may need to create the
root disk.

So let's give the VM a virtio RNG to avoid the boot getting stuck at
mke2fs.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
