Sorry I have been so slow in responding to this - always too many calls on my
time :-(

I have just pushed out a devel-3.2 branch which should give a pretty good
idea of where I am going.

http://neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/devel-3.2

I haven't actually tested anything yet so their might be some crazy stuff in
there but it shouldn't be too crazy.

I need to work out exactly how the "copy a partition table to a bare disk"
thing should work, then I want to start writing some test scripts and
actually test it.  Unfortunately loop devices don't appear
in /dev/disk/by-part/, so I might need to figure out something else
clever ... or just create some symlinks by hand.
