This problem is very hard to solve inside the kernel.
The partitions will not be visible until the array is opened *after*
it has been created. Making the partitions visible before that would
be possible, but would be very easy.
I think the best solution is Mike's solution which is to simply
open/close the array after it has been assembled. I will make sure
this is in the next release of mdadm.
Note that you can still access the partitions even though they do not
appear in /proc/partitions. Any attempt to access and of them will
make them all appear in /proc/partitions. But I understand there is
sometimes value in seeing them before accessing them.
