md: Introduction : patchbomb for 2.6.27 merge window

Following are 29 patches for md suitable for 2.6.27.

The first three are for bugs that can trigger oops or data corruption.
They are possibly suitable for 2.6.26 and for -stable.

There are some bug fixes, some minor feature enhancement (mostly
related to sysfs control of arrays) and some raid5 cleanups

Thanks,
NeilBrown
