Not to the best of my knowledge, no. It was moved to main very early on; I think it might've been 15 years ago. Perhaps the MIR prices didn't exist yet back then? I wouldn't know, not having heard of the whole thing until I saw this one pass by 🙂
The client's job is to configure an NBD device in the kernel. It does that through the APIs that the kernel provides. There are two of these in existence; one is an older ioctl-based API, the other is a more recent netlink-based one. As these are the only days you can configure NBD device nodes, it makes sense that the are a lot of ioctl calls...
