[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] add text about how to use qemu-nbd with qemu

[xiawenc]

From: Wenchao Xia <address@hidden>

  Qemu system emulator reports only fails that make people confused
about why, when it is invoked with nbd block device tring to connect
qemu-nbd server. In fact qemu will try connect server for several
times but server only accept one connect by default.
  I paid some times to find out why it fails. This patch add special
text to explain how to use it in such case.
