Thanks Dave.

Sorry I missed it the first time, but since devtype can be
NULL here, we have to avoid dereferencing it:
(it wouldn't cause trouble with glibc, but would segfault on others)

       VIR_DEBUG("Found device type '%s' for device '%s'",
                 NULLSTR(devtype), udev_device_get_sysname(device));

I wouldn't bother to add parens above.

IMHO, that added blank line detracts from readability.
