    nbd: Document timeline of various features · ba2d3b3a
    Eric Blake 提交于
    It can be useful to figure out which NBD protocol features are
    exposed by a server, as well as what features a client will
    take advantage of if available, for a given qemu release.  It's
    not always precise to base features on version numbers (thanks
    to downstream backports), but any documentation is better than
    making users search through git logs themselves.
    
    This patch originally stemmed from a request to document that
    pristine 3.0 has a known bug where NBD_OPT_LIST_META_CONTEXT
    with 0 queries forgot to advertise an available
    "qemu:dirty-bitmap" context, but documenting bugs like this (or
    the fact that 3.0 also botched NBD_CMD_CACHE) gets to be too
    much details, especially since buggy releases will be less
    likely connection targets over time.  Instead, I chose to just
    remind users to check stable release branches.
