Just giving all these patches a spin now, and seeing a few issues.

Start daemon, do 'virsh nodedev-list', SIGINT the daemon and I
consistently see a segfault:

Some minor compiler warnings I'm seeing on F12:

In udevNodeRegister, you are using a VIR_ERROR0 where it should be a
VIR_DEBUG0.

I seem to get less PCI devices with the udev backend. The HAL backend
gives me the same amount of devices as lspci gives, udev gives me about
2/3 of that. If you can't reproduce I can provide more specifics.

USB device/product listing isn't the same as the previous HAL backend
and what is shown by lsusb (maybe the ls* tools use HAL? I haven't
checked). Compare these outputs:

udev =
<device>
  <name>usb_3-2</name>
  <udev_name>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb3/3-2</udev_name>
  <parent>usb_usb3</parent>

<parent_udev_name>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb3</parent_udev_name>
  <driver>
    <name>usb</name>
  </driver>
  <capability type='usb_device'>
    <bus>3</bus>
    <device>2</device>
    <product id='0x07e0'>Biometric_Coprocessor</product>
    <vendor id='0x0483'>STMicroelectronics</vendor>
  </capability>
</device>

hal =

<device>
  <name>usb_device_483_2016_noserial</name>
  <parent>usb_device_1d6b_1_0000_00_1a_0</parent>
  <driver>
    <name>usb</name>
  </driver>
  <capability type='usb_device'>
    <bus>3</bus>
    <device>2</device>
    <product id='0x2016'>Fingerprint Reader</product>
    <vendor id='0x0483'>SGS Thomson Microelectronics</vendor>
  </capability>
</device>

Also, either udev or libvirt is adding underscores in product names
where there aren't any listed in sysfs. Not sure if this is a problem or
not.
