Dan Williams a322f70c41 Initial DDF support code.
Create a ddf array by naming the device /dev/ddf* or
specifying metadata 'ddf'.

If ddf is specified with no level, assume a container (indeed,
anything else would be wrong).

**Need to use text_Version to set external metadata...

More ddf support

Load a ddf container.  Now
   --examine /dev/ddf
works.

Iustin Pop 3dacb89029 Explain the read-balancing algorithm for RAID1 better in md.4
From: Iustin Pop <iusty@k1024.org>

There are many questions on the mailing list about the RAID1 read
performance profile. This patch adds a new paragraph to the RAID1
section in md.4 that details what kind of speed-up one should expect
from RAID1.

Neil Brown 005debfc11 Fix problem with add a device to a 1.x array created with older mdadm.
When adding new disk to an array, don't reserve so much bitmap
space that the disk cannot store the required data. (Needed when
1.x array was created with older mdadm).
