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. :-)
