No, it doesn't.  It shouldn't be hard to do it though. You could have 
two mutexes, one for sending and one for receiving.  You yield after 
sending, and let nbd_coroutine_restart read the reply.  It can then 
reenter that reply's coroutine based on the handle in the reply.  I 
still prefer to do it in a separate patch.
