This patch is the same idea as my previous patch for giving /dev/disk/by-{id,path} a chance to exist. Currently libvirt can race with udev creation of /dev/disk/by-{id,path}, so if we fail to open the directory, retry up to 5 seconds. This is only likely to happen on hosts that are:
1) diskless (so /dev/disk/by-{id,path} doesn't exist already), and 2) slow, and/or heavily loaded (meaning that udev can take some time to create the /dev nodes).
Based on the feedback from Dan and Jim, I updated the patch to look more like what is elsewhere in libvirt.
Committed. -- Chris Lalancette
