Another couple things I noticed that are worth improving, but aren't
strictly related to implementing fast zero support.

New subject: [nbdkit PATCH 1/2] server: Assert sane error responses
Our filters document that calling through next_ops should reliably set
*err on failure, and in turn that the filter must set *err if
returning -1. Since plugins.c wrapper ensures that *err is always set
regardless of the plugin, the only place where *err could be left
unset is in a broken filter. Our documentation also states that a
filter must never observe or return EOPNOTSUPP from a failed .zero,
since any fallback to .pwrite should have already happened (this
restriction will be changed in future patches when the new
NBD_CMD_FLAG_FAST_ZERO is added, but for now it is worth making sure
we obey). Since filters are always in-tree, it is appropriate to
assert that none of our backends are forgetting to set *err correctly.

New subject: [nbdkit PATCH 2/2] nozero: More efficient FUA handling
The nozero filter can split a large request with FUA into several
smaller requests; optimize whether the FUA flag is passed on to the
next layer based on whether FUA is emulated with flush (only the last
write needs it) or is natively supported (every write needs it).
Missed in commit df0cc21d.
