It is currently possible to hotplug a spapr_rng device but QEMU crashes
when we try to hot unplug:

ERROR:hw/core/qdev.c:295:qdev_unplug: assertion failed: (hotplug_ctrl)
Aborted

This happens because spapr_rng isn't plugged to any bus and sPAPR does
not provide hotplug support for it: qdev_get_hotplug_handler() hence
return NULL and we hit the assertion.

And anyway, it doesn't make much sense to unplug this device since hcalls
cannot be unregistered. Even the idea of hotplugging a RNG device instead
of declaring it on the QEMU command line looks weird.

This patch simply disables hotpluggability for the spapr-rng class.

That makes sense!

Indeed.  Merged to ppc-for-2.6, thanks.
