I've started playing around with qemu-nbd and have started looking into
named exports, aio, and adding snapshort support.  I'm wondering if instead
of adding this I should try to base it on your embedded server.  That would
give me the named exports, aio and monitor/qmp based snapshot creatation.

The only thing to add would be a qemu mode where it doesn't run an
actual guest.

Does anyone have opinions on this?
