on the host:

and then on the guest:

root@ubuntu:~# mkdir /tmp/mnt1
root@ubuntu:~# mkdir /tmp/mnt2
root@ubuntu:~# mount /hostshare1 -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version9p2000.L,access=any,posixacl /tmp/mnt1/

/tmp/mnt1/:

drwxrwxr-x 1 foo foo 6 Apr 24 11:22 .
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 Apr 24 11:27 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 foo foo 4 Apr 24 11:28 bar

/tmp/mnt2/:
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 1 foo foo 6 Apr 24 11:22 .
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 Apr 24 11:27 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 foo foo 4 Apr 24 11:28 bar
root@ubuntu:~# cat /tmp/mnt*/bar
foo
foo
root@ubuntu:~# echo baz > /tmp/mnt1/baz
-bash: /tmp/mnt1/baz: Permission denied
root@ubuntu:~# echo baz > /tmp/mnt2/baz
-bash: /tmp/mnt2/baz: Permission denied

so reading seems to work, but writing not. I can imagine that to be a problem with the permissions of the folder being written to. However, changing the group of the folders to libvirtd didn't help.
