Subject: [PATCH 000 of 9] md: Assorted patches for the 2.5.26 merge window
Message-ID: <20080429133104.20146.patches@notabene>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>

Following 9 patches for md are suitable for 2.5.26.  
Yes, I really should have submitted them to -mm earlier, but I've been
on leave, sorry.

First patch is a bug fix that should go in 2.6.25.stable. 
It has been copied to stable@kernel.org. 

Others are mostly related to "external" metadata support.  i.e. a userspace
program does all the management of metadata, and needs to communicate
with the kernel to do its job properly.
