[PATCH 0/2] Bad block notification

[Tomasz Majchrzak <tomasz.majchrzak@intel.com>]

At the moment there is no way to be notified that bad blocks have been found on
a disk. It is only possible to check manually with 'mdadm --examine-badblocks'.
User might not be aware there is a bad block for a long period. If another disk
in the array fails, data is lost.

These patches add a new event to the kernel and mdadm in order to send
notification on the first bad block on a disk. I have chosen to do it only for
first bad block as I think it's sufficient indication that the drive requires
replacement.
