Subject: [PATCH 000 of 2] md: Introduction - bugfixes for md/raid{1,10}

Following are a couple of bugfixes for raid10 and raid1. They only
affect fairly uncommon configurations (more than 2 mirrors) and can
cause data corruption. Thay are suitable for 2.6.22 and 21-stable.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

I don't know about uncommon, given that I have six machines in this
building with three way RAID-1 for the boot partition, to be sure I can
get off the ground enough to get the other partitions up.

And since you added "write-mostly" for remote mirrors I do have a few
systems doing >2 mirrors as well. This set of patches definitely will be
in my kernel by this afternoon.
