Hmm, I'm thinking that better semantics might be:

enum {
  VIR_STORAGE_OPEN_WARN = 1 << 0; // warn if unexpected type encountered
  VIR_STORAGE_OPEN_REG = 1 << 1; // regular files okay
  VIR_STORAGE_OPEN_BLOCK = 1 << 2; // block files okay
  VIR_STORAGE_OPEN_DIR = 1 << 3; // directories okay
  ...
}

int virStorageBackendVolOpen(const char *path) {
    return virStorageBackendVolOpenCheckMode(path, 0);
}

int virStorageBackendVolOpenCheckMode(const char *path,
      unsigned int flags) {
  open
  fstat
  if (flags & VIR_STORAGE_OPEN_WARN) {
    if (type == REG && !(flags & VIR_STORAGE_OPEN_REG))
       warn
    else if (type == DIR && !(flags & VIR_STORAGE_OPEN_DIR))
       warn
    ...
  }
  return result;
}

Then, you can preserve existing semantics of no warning by calling the
one-argument version, or fine-tune which file types you are willing to
accept (some callers will accept directories, others will not) by
calling the two-arg version.
