If we are assembling an array in a container and it isn't complete
enough to start yet, then
- don't start mdmon
- don't say the array is started
- don't wait for the device to appear in /dev

Use mddev_busy() as GET_ARRAY_INFO can succeed on 'clear' arrays.
Ran into this after an encountering a case where mdadm -Ss ended in
segfault (missing check for NULL return from map_by_devnum() in
sles11:Manage.c). So, tried to stop the array by hand with echo clear >
md/array_state, after which I could not reassemble since GET_ARRAY_INFO
was succeeding.

Reshape with large chunk size can require a large stripe_cache.
We make this work when starting the reshape but not when
restarting at assemble time. So fix that.

This is only significant for --assemble --force where some old
devices might be included into the array. If anything looks like
it isn't clean, the kernel will not allow a degraded array to be started.

If any superblocks in a confused array had an event count of 0,
"mdadm -Af" would not update the event counts to assemble the array.
I don't remember why that text is there, and it has caused at least
one situation to be difficult to recover from. So remove the
test. --force means --force!

We probably should pass a flag down saying 'this is auto-assembly',
but for now, if there is no identity information set, it must
be auto-assemble.

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.

Attempting to open(O_EXCL) each candidate device usually filters out all
busy raid components. However, containers do not behave like components
and will return container_content that may describe active member
arrays.
This patch just adds a function that will be used to check if a
container member is busy. It will be used shortly.

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 previously only updated /var/run/mdadm/map when starting an
array with --incremental. However we now make more use of
that file (to pass the dev name to udev) so always update it.

This delays the create_mddev call even further in the case where
an array device name is given for --assemble. It is now delayed
until the 'name' of the array is also available.
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'.

Raid disk and disk number information is not relevant at the container
level, especially for imsm. So arrange for getinfo_super_imsm() to
always publish devices as spares and report the number of spares at
Assemble() time.

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

Since we made free_super a superswitch call, we need to be careful
that st is non NULL before calling st->ss->free_super(st).
Also when updating byteorder there is a chance of a similar NULL
deref.
I want the metadata handler to have more control over the 'version',
particularly for arrays which are members of containers.
So discard st->text_version and instead use info->text_version
which getinfo_super can initialise.
