Yeah, you're right. But I view chardevs as runtime, fire and go things.
I mean, you start a VM with a chardev, say an UNIX socket and its
lifetime is identical to the VM lifetime. vhostuser on the other hand is
handled by a third party daemon (typically OVS) and thus UNIX socket
lifetime is different to VM lifetime. IOW, I worry that if we changed
the UNIX socket label we might be preventing other VMs from connecting
to it.
And I don't even know if a single socket can be shared between two VMs.
For instance, if OVS created an UNIX socket whether I can attach
vhostuser interface to one domain and then to the other. Because if I
could, then we should not change labels.
Perhaps Laine can shed more light here.
Sorry, I really know nothing about this topic. Who would be the proper
person at the next level down to ask? Michael, do you know?
I do understand that apparmor needs to add an entry to the VM's profile,
but I worry that DAC and SELinux might screw things up.

I think it does sound more promising given my assumption above is
correct. This way we can have only AppArmor driver implement the
callback leaving us with consistent behavior.
