When chunksize is 0 in the raid1 case we need to use
info_to_blocks_per_member() to calculate the array size.

If, when creating an array, a signal target device is given which
is a container, then allow the metadata handler to choose which
devices to use.
This is currently only supported for DDF.

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!

1/ When truncating the space reserved for the metadata round down to an
even numbered sector count to avoid an off-by-one error when
sysfs_add_disk rounds up.
2/ Set the current metadata parameter block size
as a floor.

Make sure every failure from add_to_super prints a suitable
error message, and then don't print any error in the caller.

Its cumbersome to determine which devices to wait for in a system shutdown
script, so hook up --scan.

Auto-assembly and planned assembly don't really work well together,
it can be confusing.
In particular in mkinitrd or similar creates an mdadm.conf to
assemble a particular array, we shouldn't go assembling any
other arrays as well.
If you want auto assembly, you need to give mdadm a config
file with no ARRAY lines.
mdadm -Ascpartitions
can do this.

Now that names in /dev are usually created (eventually) by udev,
it isn't really safe to rely in finding a name in /dev to pass to
mdmon to identify which array to monitor.
And it isn't really necessary to have a name in /dev.
So just pass the symbolic name, e.g. md127 or md123.
Change util.c to pass that name, and change mdmon to process the
name sensibly.

Change the multibyte disk status field definitions to imsm byte-order
(little-endian) to match other multibyte field definitions.

1/ when we choose not to use a device, must set ->used to 2, not 1.
2/ When we give up on a member, clear st and content.

Not all kernels automatically discard partitions when the
array is stopped, so call the RRPART ioctl to force it.

It is possible for the mapfile to become wrong, and that gets
very confusing. So validate entries before returning them.

If udev hasn't created the array yet, we might still want to
open it. So open directly by major:minor.
Also, of array in map file doesn't appear to exist, do use
the name associated with it.

So if the array with minor number matching the name of a new array
already exists, just assemble with a different minor number.

As we open and close so quickly, udev might still have the device
open. so call udevsettle before stopping an array during testing.

When we create our own ddf array, store the homehost in the vendor
information so it can be so to ensure 'LOCAL' name choices.
