Iiuc, that's basically wanting device namespace aka namespacing devtmpfs (For Android that's only partially true since it doesn't use devtmpfs but rather tmpfs + ueventd where the udev implementation of Android is creating device nodes instead of devtmpfs itself.). This is not going to fly. I would like this feature and have thought about implementing it but that would involve convincing Greg and so far he has been very opposed to device namespaces.
