What about /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/hugetlb and having the whole thing under
libvirt's control? It can allow for better security I think.
Does hugetlbfs support extended attributes ? If so, the sVirt will
automatically ensure isolation of each VM's backing file. If it
doesn't supported extended attrs, then using hugetlbs at all would
seem to blow a huge hole in our security model ...
