Platform (metadata) domain let the metadata handlers differentiate
disk domains based on controllers that the disk belongs to.
Platform domain is sub-domain inside user specified domain
in mdadm.conf configuration files inheriting all parameters from it.
The metadata domain name is used disk domain matching functions.
The disk with the same metadata domain name belong to the same metadata
domain.
New metadata handler is added that retrieves platform domain string based
on disk path:
const char *(*get_disk_controller_domain)(const char *path);

Rather than only migrating between arrays with the same spare_group,
we now migrate based on domains set in the policy.
In order for spare_group to continue to work, we treat it as a domain
of the destination array, and a domain of any device we might remove
from a source array.

When "mdadm -I" is given a device with no metadata, mdadm tries to add
it as a 'spare' somewhere based on policy.
This patch changes the behaviour in two ways:
1/ If the device is at a 'path' where a previous device was removed
from an array or container, then we preferentially add the spare to
that array or container.
2/ Previously only 'bare' devices were considered for adding as
spares. Now if action=spare-same-slot is active, we will add
non-bare devices, but *only* if the path was previously in use
for some array, and the device will only be added to that array.

If the disk is taken out from its port this port information is
lost. Only udev rule can provide us with this information, and then we
have to store it somehow. This patch adds writing 'cookie' file in
/dev/.mdadm/failed-slots directory in form of file named with value of
f<path-id> containing the metadata type and uuid of the array (or
container) that the device was a member of. The uuid is in exactly
the same format as in the mapfile.
FAILED_SLOTS_DIR constant has been added to hold the location of
cookie files.

pol_sort could go into an infinite loop.
The proof of this patch is left as a exercise for the reader :-)

Allow disk-policy to be computed given the path and
disk type explicitly. This can be used when hunting through
/dev/disk/by-path for something interesting.

A device can be in a number of domains.
The domains of an array is the union of the domains of all devices.
A device is allowed to join an array when its set of domains is a
subset of the array's domains.

Policy can be stated as lines in mdadm.conf like:
POLICY type=disk path=pci-0000:00:1f.2-* action=ignore domain=onboard
This defines two distinct policies which apply to any disk (but not
partition) device reached through the pci device 0000:00:1f.2.
The policies are "action=ignore" which means certain actions will
ignore the device, and "domain=onboard" which means all such devices
as treated as being united under the name 'onboard'.
This patch just adds data structures and code to read and
manipulate them. Future patches will actually use them.
