New flag --no-degraded
...
Use to avoid starting arrays if there are
fewer devices available than last time the array was started.
This is only needed with --scan, as with --scan, that behaviour
is the default.

Limit size of bitmap to 2million chunks.
...
When creating a file bitmap, choose a default size that
results in fewer than 2^21 chunks. Without this kmalloc
failure in the kernel becomes likely.

Allow resize to backup to a file.
...
To support resizing an array without a spare, mdadm now understands
--backup-file=
which should point to a file for storing a backup of critical data.
This can be given to --grow which will create the file, or
--assemble which will restore from the file if needed.

From: ross@jose.lug.udel.edu (Ross Vandegrift)
Hi Neil,
While adding the text message mode, I saw a FIXME asking for syslog
support in monitor mode.
This patch adds exactly that.
