[libvirt] [PATCH] Include sysfs devices lacking a device symlink as node devices

2010-03-03 Thread Ed Swierk
The udev node device driver relies on the "device" symlink in sysfs to populate the node device's parent property. Loopback, vlan and bridge network interfaces don't have a real hardware parent but could be useful to include as node devices anyway (and the hal node device driver does include them)
