Subject: bug#39815: Sharing the store between a host and a guest

Would have to share the connection with the Guix daemon. The VM would
see the changes but it could write to the store directly. But that's
effectively what you want. When you use guix as a user, the guix
command doesn't write to the store, it tells the daemon to do things.
Same deal here.
