FWIW there is a lxc-device command that will do the mknod for you,
but it won't be persistent (iirc).  Support for making that
persistent would be welcome.  I think that would come in three small
pieces:

. have src/lxc/lxc_device optionally save the container configuration
  when done.
. have do_add_remove_node() manipulate a new list of devices to be
  created at container start.
. have src/lxc/conf.c:fill_autodev create devices which are in the new
  list
