Again, not something that I'd hit, but there is a chance in
theory that this might bite us. Currently the way we decide
whether or not to create /dev entry for a device is by marching
first four characters of path with "/dev". This might be not
enough. Just imagine somebody has a disk image stored under
"/devil/path/to/disk". We ought to be matching against "/dev/".
I haven't checked it, but I believe this code only gets absolure
canonicalized paths, otherwise you could theoretically still have
/dev/../some/other/path.

And we'll get rid of the double path separator as a bonus.
