We do have 9p filesystem passthrough, if your guest understands plan9
filesystems:
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsFilesystems
This appears to be the closest to a VirtualBox shared drive.

While 9p is probably the slickest approach, NFS is probably the most
universally supported.  There are also other shared filesystems like
glusterfs that might be easier to manage than NFS.  But yeah, the
concept of having the guest share a portion of the filesystem living in
the host is still a topic for current development efforts.
