Eric Blake 4932ef4502 rng: restrict passthrough names to known-good files 
There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should
have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it
should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng.  It is
always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is
to remove support for something once released, so this patch
restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first
supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer
to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files
makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support
/dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just
two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd
passthrough where it won't work.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainRNGDefParseXML): Only allow
/dev/random and /dev/hwrng.
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng: Flag invalid files.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in (elementsRng): Document this.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-virtio-rng-random.args:
Update test to match.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-virtio-rng-random.xml:
Likewise.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
