mount --bind / loopback mount is supported but mostly untested in 1.1.1-pre5.

Device protection in RSBAC is based on device type and number, not the special
file. So you should be able to protect all devices.

Another thing is protecting the devfs pseudo files - this would have to be done
by setting up, performing backup and restore after each boot.
