This is a fairly lightweight document which doesn't add much to the
general advice in vhost-user. Update the vhost-user docs to point
directly at the rust-vmm repo.

-QEMU vhost-user-rng - RNG emulation
-===================================
-
-Background
-----------
-
-What follows builds on the material presented in vhost-user.rst - it should
-be reviewed before moving forward with the content in this file.
-
-Description
------------
-
-The vhost-user-rng device implementation was designed to work with a random
-number generator daemon such as the one found in the vhost-device crate of
-the rust-vmm project available on github [1].
-
-[1]. https://github.com/rust-vmm/vhost-device
-
-Examples
---------
-
-The daemon should be started first:
-
-::
-
- host# vhost-device-rng --socket-path=rng.sock -c 1 -m 512 -p 1000
-
-The QEMU invocation needs to create a chardev socket the device can
-use to communicate as well as share the guests memory over a memfd.
-
-::
-
- host# qemu-system \
- -chardev socket,path=$(PATH)/rng.sock,id=rng0 \
- -device vhost-user-rng-pci,chardev=rng0 \
- -m 4096 \
- -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=4G,mem-path=/dev/shm,share=on \
- -numa node,memdev=mem \
- ...
