When 2c74c2cb4b added support for
the 'readonly' flag against 9p filesystems, it also made QEMU
add the O_NOATIME flag as a side-effect.
The O_NOATIME flag, however, may only be set by the file owner,
or a user with CAP_FOWNER capability. QEMU cannot assume that
this is the case for filesytems exported to QEMU.
eg, run QEMU as non-root, and attempt to pass the host OS
filesystem through to the guest OS with readonly enable.
The result is that the guest OS cannot open any files at
all.
If O_NOATIME is really required, it should be optionally
enabled via a separate QEMU command line flag.
