The id parameter is a unique ID that will be used to reference this entropy backend from the virtio-rng device.

It should either be changed to "filename=/dev/urandom", or the QEMU
rng-random mechanism should be disabled.
We still need to implement a timeout to workaround this kind of
misconfiguration... help wanted :)
