If the metadata handler can not find its platform support components
then there is no way for it to verify that the raid configuration will
be supported by the option-rom. Provide a generic method for metadata
handlers to warn the user that the array they are about to create may
not work as intended with a given platform.

If, when creating an array, a signal target device is given which
is a container, then allow the metadata handler to choose which
devices to use.
This is currently only supported for DDF.

Now that names in /dev are usually created (eventually) by udev,
it isn't really safe to rely in finding a name in /dev to pass to
mdmon to identify which array to monitor.
And it isn't really necessary to have a name in /dev.
So just pass the symbolic name, e.g. md127 or md123.
Change util.c to pass that name, and change mdmon to process the
name sensibly.

It is possible for the mapfile to become wrong, and that gets

Rather than appending the md minor number, we now append a small
sequence number to make sure name in /dev/md/ that aren't LOCAL are
unique. As the map file is locked while we do this, we are sure
of no losing any races.

Try to treat members of containers much like other arrays for
assembly.
We still look through the list of devices for a match (it will be
the container), then find the relevant 'info' and try to assemble
the array.

When a 'container' gets started, we need udev to notice, but the
kernel has no way of knowing that a KOBJ_CHANGE event is needed. So
send one directly via the 'uevent' sysfs attribute.
Also, uevents don't get generated when md arrays are stopped (prior to
2.6.28) so send 'change' events then too.

We will shortly be feeding more information into the process of
creating array devices, so delay the creation. Still open them
early if the device already exists.
This involves making sure the autof flag is in the right place
so that it can be found at creation time.
Also, Assemble, Build, and Create now always close 'mdfd'.

Showing e.g.
near=1, far=2
for the 'far2' layout of raid10 is confusing even though there is a
sense in which is it correct.
Make it less confusing by only printing whichever number is not 1.
If both are 1, make that clear too (i.e. no redundancy).
When adding a device to an array, we check that it is large enough.
Currently the check makes sure there is also room for a reasonably
sized bitmap. But if the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this test
might be too restrictive.
So when adding, only insist there is enough space for the current
bitmap.
When Creating, still require room for the standard sized bitmap.
This resolved Debian Bug 500309
For now, this means that the lack of a homehost doesn't always prevent
assembly.
Soon we will allow assembly anyway, but have different messages if
homehost isn't supported.
mdadm -I /dev/part-of-container

and then try to assemble any arrays in the container.

When we assemble an array, there are three different approaches
depending on whether metadata is internal or external, and on

Move all this to a common helper instead of duplicating in 3 places.

The variety of approaches to 'add_disk' are factored out into
a separate function, and Incremental mode benefits by being
closer to supporting the assembly of containers.
Also remove the adding-to-array-data-structure out of sysfs_add_disk
and into add_disk.
And add some tests for --incremental mode to make sure we don't break it.

The action we are waiting for may not be complete until the monitor has
had a chance to take action on the result.
The following script can now remove the device on the first attempt,
versus a few attempts with the original Wait():
#!/bin/bash
#export MDADM_NO_MDMON=1
export IMSM_DEVNAME_AS_SERIAL=1
./mdadm -Ss
./mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/loop[0-3]
echo 2 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
./mdadm --create /dev/imsm /dev/loop[0-3] -n 4 -e imsm -a md
./mdadm --create /dev/md/r1 /dev/loop[0-3] -n 4 -l 5 --force -a mdp
./mdadm --fail /dev/md/r1 /dev/loop3
./mdadm --wait /dev/md/r1

x=$((x+1))

echo "removed after $x attempts"
./mdadm --add /dev/imsm /dev/loop3

When we first start an array, it might be good to start recovery
straight away. That requires setting the array to 'dirty', but
only the metadata handler can know if that is required or not.
So have a third possible 'consistent' option to set_array_state.
Either 'no' or 'yes' or 'you choose'.
Return value indicates what was chosen.
'1' (no) should be chosen unless there is a good reason.
