* **Improvements**
* qemu: add nbdkit backend for network disks
Up until now, libvirt supported network disks (http, ftp, ssh) by passing
the URL to qemu and having the appropriate qemu block drivers handle the
disk I/O. However, by handling the network I/O outside of the qemu process,
we get several advantages, such as reduced attack surface and improved
stability of qemu. Therefore, when available, libvirt will use nbdkit as a
backend for these network disks and export an NBD disk to qemu.
