When a qemu domain is backed by huge pages, apparmor needs to grant the domain rw access to files under the hugetlbfs mount point. Add a hook, called in qemu_process.c, which ends up adding the read-write access through virt-aa-helper. Qemu will be creating a randomly named file under the mountpoint and unlinking it as soon as it has mmap()d it, therefore we cannot predict the full pathname, but for the same reason it is generally safe to provide access to $path/**. Bug-Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/646468 Changelog: (v2) use virBuffer in place of snprintf.
