Strictly speaking I do not think there is any description of what is
supported for libnbd. I just wanted as much as possible to start with,
but centos7 is now already out.
Upstream I'm trying to keep the various parts of the project compiling
on RHEL 7. That means things like adding 'requires' to libnbd &
nbdkit tests to compensate for old versions of qemu, and in virt-v2v
not using newer features of OCaml than are present in RHEL 7 (ocaml-4.05).
From a downstream / RHEL perspective we're not intending to do
anything other than security fixes for RHEL 7.
