I thought you preferred the UTF-8 accent in your Author lines these 
days?  Or is this because this patch has been sitting around in your 
local repo prior to the point where you switched your git config author 
spelling? (Also applies to S-o-b in the series)

Relies on QMP generated code setting tls_authz = NULL if has_tls_authz 
is false (but no different than the fact that we already relied on it 
for tls_creds).  Someday it would be nice to get rid of the has_FOO for 
optional strings, but that's not your problem.

Although patch 1 and 2 touch NBD, I'm happy for Dan to be the one that 
merges it as part of the larger series.
