So for v2 of the kernel patch, should I split this into two parts -
one to add the spec link in <linux/nbd.h> (that one necessarily to
github.com), the other to tweak the README (where we delay pushing

sf.com)?

The README changes to nbd.git look fine to me.
(Always makes me do a double-take to see WHICH readme is being
updated, when we are cross-posting mails to two projects that both use
the file name)
