That is a very bad idea without further explaining the risks, since it
will allow root in the jail more or less full access to the entire
system since several non-safe device node are exported like disk and
memory devices.  To mount a devfs safely inside devfs rules must be
set up.

Could you please add a big warning, or even better, the commads to
setup devfs rules for a jail /dev, like is done by the jail rc.d
script?
