Switch to 'mapped' access mode for hostfs

Passthrough mode only works as expected when running as root. On
Debian/Ubuntu systems qemu runs as user 'libvirt-qemu' and group 'kvm'
so all shared files must be chowned to grant access from guests.

Symlinks created on the host are still problematic because the Plan 9
filesystem has no direct notion of symbolic links, see [1].
