nbd: Introduce NBD named exports.
This patch allows to connect Qemu using NBD protocol to an nbd-server using named exports. For instance, if on the host "isoserver", in /etc/nbd-server/config, you have: [generic] [debian-500-ppc-netinst] exportname = /ISO/debian-500-powerpc-netinst.iso [Fedora-10-ppc-netinst] exportname = /ISO/Fedora-10-ppc-netinst.iso You can connect to it, using: qemu -cdrom nbd:isoserver:exportname=debian-500-ppc-netinst qemu -cdrom nbd:isoserver:exportname=Fedora-10-ppc-netinst NOTE: you need at least nbd-server 2.9.18 Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

+If the nbd-server uses named exports (since NBD 2.9.18), you must use the
+"exportname" option:
+@example
+qemu -cdrom nbd:localhost:exportname=debian-500-ppc-netinst
+qemu -cdrom nbd:localhost:exportname=openSUSE-11.1-ppc-netinst
