1/ because in-kernel autodetect only works for MBR partitions - it doesn't
work for GPT or anything else.
2/ don't use in-kernel autodetect. Change the partition type for the one
partition that is on MBR to something else and let mdadm find an assemble
the array for you. This should "just work" in most distros.
