[libvirt] [PATCH 3/3] qemuDomainCreateDevice: Be more careful about device path

[Michal Privoznik]

Again, not something that I'd hit, but there is a chance in
theory that this might bite us. Currently the way we decide
whether or not to create /dev entry for a device is by marching
first four characters of path with "/dev". This might be not
enough. Just imagine somebody has a disk image stored under
"/devil/path/to/disk". We ought to be matching against "/dev/".
