I need that functionality too when building install images.  Rather than
see more and different code paths when chroot generating, I think there
would be some value in using the same code path regardless of how the
chroot is used.  I think the bind mounting of dev/ is only there for the
loop entries, I don't know of any other mock consumers that require a
real /dev/ tree.  We might consider just always file bind mounting a few
loop entries in and only having one code path.
