Rather than requiring all servers and clients to have a 32-bit limit on maximum NBD_CMD_READ/WRITE sizes, we can choose to standardize support for a 64-bit single I/O transaction now. NBD_REPLY_TYPE_OFFSET_DATA can already handle a large reply, but NBD_REPLY_TYPE_OFFSET_HOLE needs a 64-bit counterpart. By standardizing this, all clients must be prepared to support both types of hole type replies, even though most server implementations of extended replies are likely to only send one hole type. --- As this may mean a corner-case that gets less testing, I have separa...

I'm hoping to implement .extents for the nbd plugin; this is a prerequisite. I'm not sure about patch 3 - if we like it, I'll squash it to 2, if we don't, I think we are okay just dropping it. I'm also wondering if we have to worry about malicious plugins that don't populate the entire .pread buffer in an effort to get nbdkit to expose portions of the heap; my patch 7 loses
