num_connections is the total number of connections that the device was set up
with, not how many are left. Now since we have the dead_conn_timeout timeout
stuff now which didn't exist when I originally wrote this code I'd be ok with
doing that, but not the way you have it now. It would be something more like

if (nbd_disconnected(config) ||
(config->num_connections <= 1 &&
!config->dead_conn_timeout)

instead. Thanks,
