[libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] Remove support for old kernels lacking private devpts

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

Early on kernel support for private devpts was not widespread,
so we had compatibiltiy codepaths. Such old kernels are not
seriously used for LXC these days, so the compat code can go
away
