No changes to SELinux ?  I'm reasonably sure the policy should
forbid QEMU from creating the shared memory backing file. For
hugepages, we had to create a per-QEMU directory, label that and
then pass it to QEMU.

This perhaps implies that our XML should not contain the actual
path. Libvirt can just create a path based on the "name" of the
device and set a label of the dir as for hugepages.
