v2:
 - update patch 3 to store the hwrng_register_done bool per-device
   rather than global
 - add patch 2 that re-arranges struct elems for better packing.

Hi,

This series enables virtio-rng to service the early randomness
requests made by the hwrng core (patch 3), with Herbert's idea of
using the scan routine.

Patch 4 reverts the previous restriction, which no longer applies, to
not send read requests to the host before successful probe.

Patches 1 and 2 are minor cleanups.

Please review and apply,

Amit Shah (4):
  virtio: rng: remove unused struct element
  virtio: rng: re-arrange struct elements for better packing
  virtio: rng: delay hwrng_register() till driver is ready
  Revert "hwrng: virtio - ensure reads happen after successful probe"
