This patch fixes the regression with using named pipes for qemu serial devices noted in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740478 The problem was that, while new code in libvirt looks for a single bidirectional fifo of the name given in the config, then relabels that and continues without looking for / relabelling the two unidirectional fifos named ${name}.in and ${name}.out, qemu looks in the opposite order. So if the user had naively created all three fifos, libvirt would relabel the bidirectional fifo to allow qemu access, but qemu would attempt to use the two unidirectional fifos and fail (because it didn't have proper permissions/rights). This patch changes the order that libvirt looks for the fifos to match what qemu does - first it looks for the dual fifos, then it looks for the single bidirectional fifo. If it finds the dual unidirectional fifos first, it labels/chowns them and ignores any possible bidirectional fifo. (Note commit d37c6a3a (which first appeared in libvirt-0.9.2) added the code that checked for a bidirectional fifo. Prior to that commit, bidirectional fifos for serial devices didn't work because libvirt always required the ${name}.(in|out) fifos to exist, and qemu would always prefer those.
