Hello,

The udev module still references the udev_tbl_t as being stored in /dev, but these days, it's located in /run. That prevents some applications (like pcscd) to work properly.

Red Hat went the way of removing the udev_tbl_t type completely, see fedora-selinux/selinux-policy@382acd84f3

Would that be the road to go as well?

Sounds like it is the right choice.

Drop support for /dev/.udev and like
0d64b98 
This location is gone for quite some times and the udevdb has been moved
to /run/udev.

Drop the udev_tbl_t and deprecate the udev_read_db() function

This inspired from changes in the Red Hat policy

@pebenito
udev: Drop udev_tbl_t.
94352cb 
This usage under /dev/.udev has been unused for a very long time and
replaced by functionality in /run/udev.  Since these have separate types,
take this opportunity to revoke these likely unnecessary rules.

Fixes SELinuxProject#221

Derived from Laurent Bigonville's work in SELinuxProject#230
