Sharing a device between multiple VMs is something I've been looking at
too. Are you using KVM or some other hypervisor? I ask because KVM has
virtio-rng in later releases which handles this nicely:

I've started doing some testing with a TrueRNG device and the results
have been promising. I'm hoping to provide this capability to customers
in a forthcoming VPS product I'm developing...
