We observed that after this commit virtio-rng implementation in FVP doesn't
work

INFO: bp.virtio_rng: Selected Random Generator Device: XORSHIFT DEVICE
INFO: bp.virtio_rng: Using seed value: 0x5674bba8
Error: FVP_Base_AEMvA: bp.virtio_rng: <vq0-requestq> Found invalid descriptor index
In file: (unknown):0
In process: FVP_Base_AEMvA.thread_p_12 @ 935500020 ns
Info: FVP_Base_AEMvA: bp.virtio_rng: Could not extract buffer

while basic baremetal test works as expected

INFO: bp.virtio_rng: Selected Random Generator Device: XORSHIFT DEVICE
INFO: bp.virtio_rng: Using seed value: 0x541c142e
Info: FVP_Base_AEMv8A: bp.virtio_rng: Generated Number: 0x4b098991ceb377e6
Info: FVP_Base_AEMv8A: bp.virtio_rng: Generated Number: 0xbdcbe3f765ba62f7

We are trying to get an idea what is missing and where, yet none of us familiar
with the driver :(

I'm looping Kevin who originally reported that and Mauricio who is looking form
the FVP side.

Cheers
Vladimir
