The following test works with qemu.git:
# Serve pre-installed qcow2 disk image over NBD. Note that we tell
# qemu-nbd it is a raw file so that qemu-nbd does not interpret the
# file contents.
qemu-nbd -t -p 1234 -f raw test.qcow2
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 \
-drive if=none,cache=none,file=nbd://localhost:1234,\
format=qcow2,id=drive0 \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0
The guest boots up successfully.
This suggests either your block driver is buggy or you need to rebase
onto qemu.git/master for it to work.
If you would like help debugging then please rebase onto qemu.git/master
and post a git URL where we can see the code.

Try again with qemu.git/master. Note this command-line is missing
-drive ...,discard=unmap so it will not pass discard requests to the
host.
I'm also not sure whether hdparm is the right tool. This is a SCSI disk
whereas hdparm is intended for ATA disks. Perhaps the ioctls are wired
up so it works fine for SCSI disks but you should use sdparm for
SCSI-specific stuff.
