Okay, I just tested that pre-patch, qemu-nbd --list refuses to connect,
but post-patch it works:

$ ./qemu-nbd -r -k /tmp/nbdsock --object \
  tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/home/eblake/libnbd/tests \
  --tls-creds tls0 -f raw -x / ./file
$ qemu-nbd --list -k /tmp/nbdsock --object \

tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=client,dir=/home/eblake/libnbd/tests,username=eblake
\
  --tls-creds tls0
qemu-nbd: TLS is only supported with IPv4/IPv6
$ ./qemu-nbd --list -k /tmp/nbdsock --object \

tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=client,dir=/home/eblake/libnbd/tests,username=eblake
\
  --tls-creds tls0
exports available: 1

Oh. Yeah, I'll have to fix that; it's different than qemu-nbd --list.

Okay, v2 coming up later, once I've done more integration testing.
