The aim of qemuDomainGetPreservedMounts() is to get a list of filesystems mounted under /dev and optionally generate a path for each one where they are moved temporarily when building the namespace. And if given domain is also running it looks into its mount table rather than at the host one. But if it did look at the domain's private mount table, it find /dev mounted twice: the first time by udev, the second time the tmpfs mounted by us. Now, later in the function there's a "sorting" algorithm that tries to reduce number of mount points needing preservation, by identifying nested mount points. And if we keep the second occurrence of /dev on the list, well, after the "sorting" we are left with nothing but "/dev" because all other mount points are nested.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
