Hi again.

Here are 7 patches for md in 2.4.3-pre-current

The first flags the START_ARRAY as deprecated - I plan to remove it in 2.7.
The comment with that patch explains why.

The next 5 provide some cleanup of raid1 code leading to a patch which 
enabled raid1 to safely use large requests when resyncing (it uses 
bio_add_page to make sure each page is allowed).  This substantially increases
resync speed in atleast one test.

The final patch in a new version of the partitioning patch.
It removes the rather ugly code for forcing the partitions to be 
re-evaluated and instead makes simple arranges for them to be reread 
on the next open.  This fixes the one bug that was reported against the
patch.
I have also taken onboard some of the feedback I got about the patch.
