Magics 0x12560953 and 0x96744668 for nbd.h



Hi,

I've tried to figure out details about the "do *not* use" magic values for nbd.

They are referenced from the documentation in the current linux kernel!

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/magic-number.rst?h=v5.16#n99

> NBD_REQUEST_MAGIC 0x12560953 nbd_request ``include/linux/nbd.h``

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/magic-number.rst?h=v5.16#n137

NBD_REPLY_MAGIC       0x96744668       nbd_reply                ``include/linux/nbd.h``


That is stale, correct?

Still in use:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/2.1.116pre2/source/include/linux/nbd.h

Not used anymore, replaced with new values
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/2.1.116/source/include/linux/nbd.h

Thus a bit outdated.
Should I send a patch to update it?
And: The translations are manually maintained, correct? Thus all files need to be updated.
