Feel free to rename get/put to ref/unref in your series if that makes 
life any easier.

Feels a bit like a backdoor hack, but gets the job done (and as you 
said, we had quite an IRC conversation about what it would take to get 
socket activation working, so leaving that in qemu-nbd for now is 
reasonable for the first patch series).

Looks sane.
