If you want to ensure that a particular device becomes a replacement for a
particular other device, then
  cd /sys/block/mdX/md
  echo frozen > sync_action
  echo NN:MM > new_dev  # where NN is major and MM is minor of new device
  echo want_replacement > rdSS/state  # where SS is slot number of device to
                          # replace
  echo SS > dev-YYY/slot  # where YYY is the kernel name of the newly added
                          # device
  echo idle > sync_action

should do it, but I haven't tested recently.
