Where is this new option documented? At a minimum, 'qemu-nbd --help'
should mention it. If later in the series, mention that in the commit

There's an earlier use of argv[optind] for the --disconnect option;
should that code be tweaked at all, or is it always safe for that path
to blindly open(name) without trying to parse options?
