Hoping this isn't too late for 2.6.28.
This fixes a bug that makes it impossible to start md arrays with
write-intent-bitmaps on machines with 64K PAGE_SIZE.
We read whole pages and as easily fall off the end of the device.
It is a bug that has been around for a long time and is suitable for
any currently maintained -stable. As such it has a
Cc: stable@kernel.org
line.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
