(somethiung about kernel nbd)
BTW, are you maintaining kernel nbd? If so, I'd like to propose some unifications that would make it possible to run either enbd or nbd daemons on the same driver, at least in a "compatibility mode".
The starting point would be
1) make the over-the-wire data formats the same, which means enlarging kernel nbd's nbd_request and nbd_reply structs to match enbd's, or some compromise.
2) less important .. make the driver structs the same. enbd has more fields there too, for accounting purposes. That's the nbd_device struct.
Later on one can add some cross-ioctls.
