I would like to read-only mount a directory from the host (inside the
guest). Technically looking to do this in RHEL 7, but just curious as to
the proper virsh define xml to make it happen.
I'm fairly sure, if this is using virtio-9p, then it won't work in
RHEL 7 as Red Hat are disabling all 9p support.
There was discussion in the qemu community last year about supporting
MTP between guest and host, but I don't think it got as far as anyone
writing code.
What are your actual requirements beyond needing to mount a directory?
Why wouldn't a normal remote filesystem (eg. NFS/CIFS/Gluster) work?

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.
