We could optimize this by jcalling virFileAccessibleAs
once and storing the result in a global. Then just do a
plain stat() call in process to check the st_ctime field
for changes. We only need re-run the heavy virFileAccessibleAs
check if st_ctime has changed (indicating a owner/group/acl
change).
But can't access permission change outside of changing the actual device
file (e.g. cgroups or other OS capabilities)? Isn't that the whole
purpose of the virFileAccessibleAs gymnastics?
