*sigh*.

I have to admit I didn't notice this was a hook on vdsmd exit; as it, no
more vms will be running.

I was concerned about removing it between VM starts/stops.

I actually think removing on vdsmd shutdown is file.  Looking at your
code as well, we rightly only remove /dev/kvm if it is a file, rather
than a char device.

I'll update my comments and review in gerrit.

Mark,

Thanks for finding out the udev issue; I may yet submit a fix for that;
it's likely to be a debatable issue on how udev should handle existing
files in /dev.

yes, nested is much cooler, but I have hosts which do not have
kernels new enough to run nested (see RHEL6.x) so faqemu is still
needed.
