Provided swap is not on nbd, and you are not trying to exotically
run nbd on nbd, I can't immediately see what the deadlocking are
in modern kernels. Paul might know better. I suppose the danger is
a full block layer request list toward nbd, and nbd-server not
being able to make progress due to the block layer list being full.
I think to the extend there is a concept of 'fullness' at all,
it is by device.
