It isn't! I'll have to figure out a way of loading the enbd_ioctl
automatically. In the meantime, try

  
        if (!remote_ioctl) {
            // PTB we don't and can't know. But say what we think
            return (atomic_read (&lo->flags) & ENBD_VALIDATED) == 0;
        }
 
above the two guilty lines. That looks the best compromise

I'll get to the debug messages shortly, now that I actually announced
it.
