pol_sort could go into an infinite loop.
The proof of this patch is left as a exercise for the reader :-)

Allow disk-policy to be computed given the path and
disk type explicitly. This can be used when hunting through
/dev/disk/by-path for something interesting.

A device can be in a number of domains.
The domains of an array is the union of the domains of all devices.
A device is allowed to join an array when its set of domains is a
subset of the array's domains.

Policy can be stated as lines in mdadm.conf like:
POLICY type=disk path=pci-0000:00:1f.2-* action=ignore domain=onboard
This defines two distinct policies which apply to any disk (but not
partition) device reached through the pci device 0000:00:1f.2.
The policies are "action=ignore" which means certain actions will
ignore the device, and "domain=onboard" which means all such devices
as treated as being united under the name 'onboard'.
This patch just adds data structures and code to read and
manipulate them. Future patches will actually use them.
