Well, that's just copy/paste what's done on stock android. Indeed
having them non world-writable would be better, not sure what will
break. qemu_* devices communicate with qemu devices (hypervisor?) and
host OS (adb). Not sure how the attack vector would look like, given
that it is emulator. I'll open a bug to limit the permissions on
these. Since this branch is merged already.

Dmitrijs.
