Repair sets MD_RECOVERY_REQUESTED in md which may not result in the
spare device being recovered.

This is the initial defensive implementation of bad block management
support. It simply precludes assembly if there are entries in the bad
block logs. This is sufficient for now as the conditions that lead to
an entry in the bad block log would cause the array to be failed by MD
(as of 2.6.27).

While mdadm is constructing an array mdmon may see an intermediate state
(some disks not yet added / redundancy attributes like sync_action not
available). Waiting for mdstat->active == true ensures that the array
is ready to be handled. This fixes a bug in create array via mdmon
update whereby failures are not detected in the new array.
Introduce aa_ready() to catch cases where the active_array is not
correctly initialized. Barring a kernel bug this should never trigger,
nonetheless it precludes a class of bugs like the one mentioned above
from triggering.
Cleanup the exit paths and only call replace_array when the new array is
ready to be inserted into container->arrays.

Maintaining a single global buffer is unwieldly when extending/rewriting
sections of the metadata. Parse the metadata into component data
structures upon reading and coalesce to a coherent buffer before
writing.

The cmd_filter patch merged for 2.6.27 broke retrieving the serial
number via an ioctl to /dev/sgN. In debugging this I found that other
utilities like sdparm simply run the ioctl on /dev/sdX. So just convert
to that for protection in numbers, but scream on the mailing list for
the inconvenience grr...

Removes the need for the call to ->set_array_state when sync_action
transitions from 'recover' to 'idle'.

Neil rightly points out that imsm_activate_spare may skip valid free space
on a spare, fix this up.

If the array is shutdown as soon as resync finishes, we might not
notice the resync finish. So on array shutdown, check for current
resync pos.

start_mdmon now waits for mdmon to complete initialisation and,
importantly, listen on the socket, before continuing.

Rather, assume that it is in the same directory from which
mdadm was run. If not, then maybe /sbin or current directory.

If an array is being managed by mdmon, then just
write "inactive" to stop it, and let mdmon do the
final "clear". This makes sure mdmon has a chance
to read the final state and update the metadata properly.
After writing "inactive" with use "ping_monitor" to synchronise
with mdadm, then STOP the array just in case it is still running,
else we will get into an infinite loop in "mdadm -Ss".

When a 'ping' (empty message) is sent to mdmon, we wait for
'monitor' to do a full loop to make sure it has caught up
with anything that needs doing.
This allows synchronisation between mdadm and mdmon.
Maybe monitor should signal managemon rather than managemon polling...
