This needs to be libxl_fork, I think. Perhaps even this whole thing
should be libxl__spawn_spawn (not sure about that)?

Why do you need this sleep?

"-r" perhaps?

We can't get qemu-nbd to find a free device on our behalf and tell us
what it was?

free(NULL) is acceptable.

This should be moved into the switch which you have added e.g.
        case LIBXL_DISKBACK_END_PHY:
                /* nothing to do */
                break;

should be another explicit case statement.

Please declare these at the top of the function.
