Looks good to me.

I remember a discussion at some KVM Forum a couple of years ago where
someone (Berto?) was asking about adding QMP to qemu-nbd.  I found it a
pragmatic solution, but I remember that Markus was against it, based on
the fact that we wanted qemu -M none.

Well, but anyway.  Just as I didn’t have anything against adding QMP to
qemu-nbd, I don’t have anything against adding a new application that
kind of fulfills the same purpose.  And I think introducing a new
application instead of reusing qemu-nbd that focuses on all-around QAPI
compatibility (which qemu-nbd decidedly does not have) makes sense.


The only thing I don’t like is the name, but that’s what <Tab> is for. :-)
