I still don't like the proposed XML. We need to get consensus on where
to put it, with my proposal being:
<filesystem type='mount'>
<driver type='path' write='immediate'/>
<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
<target dir='mount_tag'/>
</filesystem>
Right, other types of drivers might include a userspace NFS client, or
some kind of "artificial" filesystem.
In addition, instead of write='immediate' I suggest
cache='writeback'/cache='writethrough'.
