This is an actual typo, isn't it?

These are a few cases where I feel that rewording the existing
comment or piece of code, even if it wouldn't strictly speaking count
as fixing a typo, would still be preferable to having to list it as
an exception.

Same for this one, but I appreciate that others might consider
renaming the variable as unnecessary churn and not worth the effort.

Looking at the context where this appears:

  deny /sys/d[^e]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/de[^v]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/dev[^i]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devi[^c]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devic[^e]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/device[^s]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/[^v]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/v[^i]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/vi[^r]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/vir[^t]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/virt[^u]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/virtu[^a]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/virtua[^l]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/virtual/[^n]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/virtual/n[^e]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/virtual/ne[^t]*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/virtual/net?*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices/virtual?*{,/**} wklx,
  deny /sys/devices?*{,/**} wklx,

I mean, I don't speak AppArmor but this can't be right, can it? :D

Jim, do you think we actually need such a slippery slope of deny
rules, or can we simplify things a bit?

This should probably be made to apply to all libvirt-* files in that
directory, as it's apparently part of the format specification.

In this case I think it's perfectly fine to just drop the offending
line and move on.
