Surely you mean different than the default user from qemu.conf.
though we have corresponding APIs in the security drivers,
there's no implementation and thus we don't relabel the huge page
path. But even if we did, so far all of the domains share the
same path:
/hugepageMount/libvirt/qemu
Our only option there would be to set 0777 mode on the qemu dir
which is totally unsafe. Therefore, we can create dir on
per-domain basis, i.e.:
/hugepageMount/libvirt/qemu/domainName
and chown domainName dir to the user that domain is configured to
run under.

You can't simply user the name because our restrictions for the name are
too lax. You should get unique directory name usable for this using
virDomainObjGetShortName() to make sure the creation doesn't fail.
However, that reminds me that you might need to deal with similar thing
I had to deal with when adding per-domain subdirectories for private
domain paths. You should save the path (or at least the information
that the newer path is used) in the domain object and save/restore it
in/from the state XML. The way it's implemented now will break for
example hotplug of hugepage-backed memory after libvirt upgrade.
I know this (and others) are mostly corner-cases, this won't have that
many problems as the per-domain path had, but still, not fixing it right
away will just increase the complexity of the fix.
