-    Add support for native TLS encryption on NBD for disk migration
-
-    The NBD protocol previously runs in clear text, offering no security
-    protection for the data transferred, unless it is tunnelled over some
-    external transport like SSH. Such tunnelling is inefficient and
-    inconvenient to manage. Support for TLS to the NBD clients & servers
-    provided by QEMU was added. This adds support to configure ndb related
-    qemu.conf parameters.
