[PVE-User] Share an usb device with a forced dev entry between proxmox and lxc

[Guillaume]

I found the issue.

On the container, dev elements aren't created by lxc and if you create 
them by hand, they will disappear after a reboot.

So, i create them at each boot using /etc/rc.local (in the container) :

mknod -m 666 /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
mknod -m 666 /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
mknod -m 666 /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2
mknod -m 666 /dev/usbsms0 c 188 0
mknod -m 666 /dev/usbsms1 c 188 1
chown root:dialout /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/usbsms*

And i keep the lxc.cgroup.devices.allow and lxc.mount.entry lines in my 
container configuration file.
