Hi Robby,

"Add Hardware" now offers "Filesystem" for the guest to access host filesystems.
Two transports are offered: virtiofs and virtio-9p. The latter is older and
slower.

virtiofsd is now in SlackBuilds. I use it with hardware drives and NFS mounts so
far. Also I'm the maintainer.

Please consider adding virtiofsd as an optional dependency of virt-manager,

Cheers ... Duncan.
