I did wonder about that when I wrote this. I didn't do it because
obviously virRandomInitialize has a parameter passed in. Now I see
that every single caller just does the same 'time(NULL) ^ getpid()'
we might as well just make virRandomInitialize be 'void' and used
the fixed pattern for seed.

I'll do this as a followup patch though
