 - 4700- nbdkit filters/plugins that were adjusted
 
 The qemu implementation was quite trivial (map the new NBD flag to the
-existing BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK flag, in both client and server).  But
-to actually get the NBD extension into the protocol, it's better to
-prove that the extension will be interoperable with other NBD
-implementations.  So, the obvious second implementation is libnbd for
-a client (adding a new flag to nbd_zero, and support for mapping a new
-errno value, due out in 1.2), and nbdkit for a server (adding a new
-.can_fast_zero callback for plugins and filters, then methodically
-patching all in-tree files where it can be reasonably implemented,
-released in 1.14).  Among other things, the nbdkit changes to the
-nozero filter added the parameters I used in my demo for controlling
-whether to advertise and/or honor the semantics of the new flag.

 [if time:] Note that the file plugin was not touched in the initial
 patches. This is because accurate support is harder than it looks:
