We should not get in the way of a user doing:

ln -s /dev/urandom '/tmp/my<evil>random'

then passing:

<backend model='random'>/tmp/my<evil>random</backend>

in their domain XML.  By using virBufferEscape on the output side, we
allow the user to use XML escapes on their input to specify any valid
file name.

Sure, doing things as followups is fine, since you already collected
ACKs before my late review.
