Hello Guido,

Please find attached a small update to the README.Debian. It has
pointers on how a Host file system inteface can be attached to the
Guest. I've only documented the most common use case.

> Mapping Host File System Directories
> ====================================
> 
> You can map a Host file system directory to the guest. This can be achieved
> using the 9p file system interface in the Guest OS. If your Guest OS has
> support for 9p file system (Linux already has support for it), you can enable
> a share (on the host) and mount it on the guest.
> 
> For example, create a share on the host named "share"
> On the Guest VM, add something like the following in /etc/fstab:
> 
> share	/mnt/share	9p	trans=virtio,rw,_netdev	0	0
>
