Hmm, So you want to avoid the error message altogether. So in that case
you should rather call virFileAccess and also note what happens in an
comment.
Additionally since that would be a semantic change you need to mention
it in the commit message and also make sure that all callers would
ignore such failure. Otherwise you may cause a regression where we'd
report an "unknown error" in cases where it was actually necessary.
Since I found at least one code path that propagates the error
(nodeDeviceGetXMLDesc) you should re-evaluate your approach.
