When I saw this error message for the first time in the original thread, I got
confused, since this just checks whether the symlink exists, if it
doesn't, the vfio device probably also doesn't exist (but take this with a
grain of salt, I haven't investigated that deep) and libvirt needs it to pass
it onto qemu command line. I hit this issue once by accident in the past and at
that time I didn't understand what caused it, but after a reboot it was gone.
So seeing it here it caught my eye and I investigated it last week. What I
found out was that it's caused by the vfio-mdev module not being loaded
automatically as a dependency. I solved it by autoloading the module on system
boot. So this is not a libvirt issue, but just for a reference, there is a BZ
on this [1].

I suppose this corresponds to the problem above, do you hit this error if you
work around the vfio-mdev module problem described above?

This one's interesting, again, are you able to hit the error when you work
around the missing vfio-mdev module? I'll have a look at this if you actually
can hit the error, even if the XML is correct.

I posted v3 of the series and also created a new branch 'mdev-next' on my
github [2]. I dropped the attribute 'type' from the source address element, so
follow the example in the updated docs.

Thanks for giving it a try.
