[Libguestfs] [p2v PATCH 00/10] Simplify NBD server management

One thing I realised over the weekend is that if we're removing
qemu-nbd support, then we'd better have an nbdkit available on older
RHEL.  I pushed a few small fixes to nbdkit this morning, and I'm
happy to report that current nbdkit from git compiles fine on RHEL 6,
albeit with a reduced set of features.

I didn't try RHEL 5, but hardware which is only supported by RHEL 5
and not RHEL 6 would be 12-15 years old at this point.  Nevertheless
we can probably make nbdkit work on RHEL 5 if we have to.

Rich.
