[PATCH md 000 of 8] Introduction

[NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>]

Following are 8 patches for md in 2.6.13-rc6-mm1.

The first patch could usefully go into 2.6.13.  The remainder should wait
for 2.6.14-rc1.

Number 001 simply calls md_wakeup_thread during raid startup to make
sure that resync gets started.  It is always perfectly safe to call
this function -- as long as we don't call it continuously -- as an
extra wakeup doesn't hurt.
The remainder fix:
    bugs in code that is only in -mm as yet, 
    minor bugs in recently added 'bitmap' code,
    fix a long standing shortcoming with 'linear' the only one person has 
      complained about.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
