[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-rng: Add human-readable error message for negative max-bytes parameter

[John Snow]

If a negative integer is used for the max_bytes parameter, QEMU currently
calls abort() and leaves behind a core dump. This patch adds a simple
error message to make the reason for the termination clearer.
