Apparently the the mapped-* security models results in a raw bytes
being dumped to host without any architecture normalization (in
host byte order).  This may even lead to security issues in guest
when the same files are served from another host for example.

This bug has been initially submitted against debian qemu package, see
http://bugs.debian.org/755740

Thanks,
