I've applied all the series in this patches, to yesterday's Git master,
so I'm here:

    $ git describe

Instead of an ISO, I have this command-line:

    $QEMU \
      -display none \
      -nodefconfig \
      -nodefaults \
      -m 2048 \
      -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \
      -device virtio-serial-pci \
      -serial stdio \
      -drive file=./cirros-0.3.3.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=virtio \
      -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/export/security/gnutls,endpoint=server \
      -qmp unix:./qmp-sock,server

However, this invocation seem to work for me, am I doing something wrong?

    $ ./qmp-shell ./qmp-sock
    Welcome to the QMP low-level shell!
    Connected to QEMU 2.5.50
  
    (QEMU) nbd-server-start addr={'host:'localhost','port':'9000'} tls-creds=tls0
    {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'addr', expected: QDict"}}
    (QEMU) 


I also tried the `rlwrap` with UNIX socket approach, the below way.  You
corrected my invocation on #qemu (where I was incorrectly using
'tls-creds' as part of the "addr" struct); hope I got it right this
time:

    $ rlwrap -H ~/.qmp_history socat UNIX-CONNECT:./qmp-sock STDIO
    {"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 5, "major": 2}, "package": ""}, "capabilities": []}}
    { "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
    {"return": {}}
    {"execute":"nbd-server-start","arguments":{"addr":{"type":"inet","data":{"host":"localhost","port":"9000"}}, "tls-creds":"tls0"}

Which just seems to be running forever, and does not yield anything (I
was expecting a: {"return": {}}).
