Yeah, and it appears my current kernel already has the patch, *and* that
the required userspace bits are in nbd-client already, too. Not sure how
I missed that. Sorry :)
I think I'll change it a bit though, and make the netlink code be the
default (but allow -L to fall back on the older ioctl() interface when
needed). Can you think of a downside to that?
