>From the audit messages you posted, I would have expected that:
- a new type would have been assigned to /usr/share/hwdata, and apmd_t
would have been allowed to read it.
- tmp_domain(apmd_t) would have been added to enable it to create its
own temporary files under /tmp without disturbing anyone else's
temporary files.

Looking at the latest rawhide targeted policy (1.27.1-5), it looks like
the tmp_domain() has been added, it has been directly allowed to read
usr_t (which I would have preferred not doing) and it has been made
unconfined in targeted policy (which seems overkill).  So I would expect
your scripts to work just fine with that policy, even though I'd still
favor adding a new type for /usr/share/hwdata and not making apmd_t
completely unconfined.
