    virdevmapper: Ignore all errors when opening /dev/mapper/control
    
    So far, only ENOENT is ignored (to deal with kernels without
    devmapper). However, as reported on the list, under certain
    scenarios a different error can occur. For instance, when libvirt
    is running inside a container which doesn't have permissions to
    talk to the devmapper. If this is the case, then open() returns
    -1 and sets errno=EPERM.
    
    Assuming that multipath devices are fairly narrow use case and
    using them in a restricted container is even more narrow the best
    fix seems to be to ignore all open errors BUT produce a warning
    on failure. To avoid flooding logs with warnings on kernels
    without devmapper the level is reduced to a plain debug message.
