Because ---examine --brief, or --detail --brief are
often used to create mdadm.conf, and because people don't want to
have to update their mdadm.conf unnecessarily, we don't want to
include information that might change.
And now that level changing is supported, that is almost everything
but UUID.
So move some more fields into the "Only print with --verbose" class.

As get_component_size() returns the number of used sectors of a device
we need halve before pringing as K, and shift the value by 9, not 10,
before passing to human_size.
Thanks to Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> for identifying problem
(and a slightly different version of this patch)

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.

Metadata formats like imsm work in concert with platform firmware and
hardware, so provide a way for mdadm to display this info to the user.

If there is no metadata (--build was used) then we need to lookup
by devnum, not by uuid, to get the map entry.

MD_NAME is the name of the array extracted directly from the metadata.
MD_DEVNAME is the current working name of the array. It should appear
in /dev/md. It is possibly what the user gave when creating the
array.
We extract it from /var/run/mdadm/map.

From 2.6.28, normal md device will be able to have partitions. These
partitions will have a different major number. Sometimes mdadm tests
the major number and so can get confused.
Change these tests to test against get_mdp_major(). mdp does not use
extended minor number and so this test will always be accurate.
Also use /sys/dev links to map major/minor to devnum in sysfs.

Certain operations (Detail.c mainly) would print out the metadata of
an array in a format that the scan operation in super0.c and super1.c
would later reject as unknown when it was found in the mdadm.conf file.
Use a consistent format, but also modify the super0 and super1 match
methods to accept the other format without complaint.

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).
Make --detail on a container more useful by suppressing irrelevant
detail and adding useful detail like a list of member arrays.
Ditto for members of a container: report the name of the container
array.

array.size is 32bits and counts K. So for arrays with
more than 4Terrabytes, it can overflow.
The correct number can be read from sysfs, but there are still
a few places that use array.size and risk truncation. What is worse.
they compare a number of kilobytes with a number of sectors !!
So use get_component_size() to read the sysfs information, and be
more consistent about units.

This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference in Detail.c when running
'mdadm --detail --export' on a device with non-persistent super blocks.
udev likes to get information about a device as key=value pairs so it
can create disk/by-id links etc. So add --export flag which causes
the output of --detail to easily parsable.

Unfortuantely there are 2.6 kernels which will still produce
warnings. We cannot reliable detect those.

This allows for larger device number if glibc supports
it (requires 2.3.3).
Also fail before creating larger device number if glibc
support isn't present.
