hostfs should work in this case.  If you have a UML running as user,
importing the host's /home/user, the permissions should be OK.

The one odd thing, which shouldn't hurt, is that if the user inside
UML is root, and saves files, they will be owned by user, not root.

ocfs2 should work, but setting up a cluster is overkill for what you
want.
