Why did you need to import math.h?

But it's reasonable enough. Will queue through my NBD tree; in part
because it has conflicts with other pending NBD patches (so
trivial-patches taking it would actually cost me more efforts than me
just fixing the conflicts).

This one is a definite problem (POSIX says you shouldn't name any static
variable the same as a standard function entry point, even if it happens
to lnik)...

...this one just silences a -Wshadow but is permitted by strict C. We
have too many other -Wshadow violations in our code base, but I don't
mind getting rid of this one.

Here's where my pending to add 'qemu-nbd --bitmap' conflict; I don't
mind fixing it.
