From the qemu man page:

security_model=security_model

Specifies the security model to be used for this export path. Supported
security models are "passthrough", "mapped- xattr", "mapped-file" and "none".
In "passthrough" security model, files are stored using the same credentials as
they are created on the guest. This requires QEMU to run as root.
