Also, have a look at the hostfs filesystem in UML. It implements a virtual filesystem which provides access to the host filesystems from inside the virtual machine. The userspace side of it is basically trivial to implement and can be used to provide filesystem access to anything on the host that can be made to look like a filesystem.
See http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/user-mode-linux/linux/arch/u m/fs/hostfs/hostfs_user.c?rev=1.11&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup for the interface that you'd have to implement.
