Hi. You're quite right. There's a bdrv_close_all() in kvm_main_loop that
needs a bdrv_release_all before it. I note that the non-kvm main loop
doesn't have a bdrv_close_all() either, just exiting without closing the
block devices. I've added both a bdrv_release_all and a bdrv_close_all() for
this case. (This presumably means that sheepdog used to leak locks following
a shutdown if -no-kvm was given on the command line?)

I also forget to correctly wrap qemu-nbd with claim and release calls, so
I've done this in the next version of the patch too.

Cheers,

Chris.
