By re-using virStorageSource->path for the path to the block device, the
code which e.g. sets up the mount namespace will consider that the
device node for the vdpa device needs to be created in the per-vm
/dev/fileysstem. This should not be needed though as we're FD-passing
it.

selinux labelling and cgroups will skip labelling the /dev/ node as
virStorageSourceIsLocalStorage() returns false. This is okay in case of
selinux but I'm not sure how the cgroups device controller handles
access to the device.

I also didn't see anything related to labelling the fd passed to qemu.

What I'm missing is selinux-labelling of the FD passed to the VM. Since
the /dev/ node doesn't get labelled either it will most likely we
forbidden by selinux.

Do you have any guide how to setup the VDPA simulator handy?

Generally this patch looks okay and the labelling stuff is more for the
implementation patch, so,
