Paolo,

thanks for the patch...

Add a IOCTL to negotiate features between the server and the
kernel module (mediated by the usermode client).  Features are
stored in the pre-existing flags field.
I'm not crazy about another ioctl, but we need to get this flag
setting functionality in, and I just have not had the time...

Also zero out the flags when NBD_DO_IT completes.

Could you name this as NBD_SET_FLAGS, as that's more consistent with
what it's really doing?

Otherwise these look good for inclusion.

Thanks,
Paul
