While the code allows devices to already be there (by some miracle), we shouldn't try to create devices that don't belong to us. For instance, we shouldn't try to create /dev/shm/file because /dev/shm is a mount point that is preserved. Therefore if a file is created there from an outside (e.g. by mgmt application or some other daemon running on the system like vhostmd), it exists in the qemu namespace too as the mount point is the same. It's only /dev and /dev only that is different. The same reasoning applies to all other preserved mount points.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
