At this point, you cannot control a set of device files appearing in a domain.
Libvirt defines the set internally and doesn't provide a way to change it with
a configuration file or somewhat. Note that '/dev' which you see inside a domain
is tmpfs that hides existing device files; it's not identical with
'/dev' outside.
