Seems like this is even working fine with older Linux kernels ... your patch 
accidentally broke test_s390x_devices in 
tests/avocado/machine_s390_ccw_virtio.py: This test adds two virtio-rng devices 
to the guest, then ejects them to see whether /dev/hwrng will be gone ... which 
does not happen anymore with the prno-trng feature enabled :-)

I'm going to squash this one-liner to fix this issue:
