I've pushed the two series that you've reviewed, and have finally posted
my parallel nbd series; once that is reviewed, I agree that we are ready
for a release.

There's other things that may still be worth adding to the nbd forwarder
over time (auto-fragmenting of large requests down to the 32M limits
mentioned in the spec, or even configurable down to the 1M limit of
ancient qemu 2.5; allowing a TCP address and port rather than just a
Unix socket; incorporating TLS client communications to allow 'old
client => Unix => nbd => encrypted TCP => new server' as a nice
counterpart to our existing 'new client => encrypted TCP => nbd => Unix
=> old server'; implementing upstream NBD extensions such as NBD_OPT_GO
support) - but I don't plan to write them this week, so they aren't a
reason to hold up an upstream release.
