i've fixed the code to not have this assumption - it's init-time code only
anyway. There are also a few other cleanups in raid-2.4.1-B1:

 - CONFIG_MD_BOOT gone. __init thing and people actually use it.

 - CONFIG_AUTODETECT_RAID gone. __init thing, and can be turned off via
   command-line. Needs special partition ID to be activated anyway.

 - static-init cleanups (no need to initialize to zero)

 - new RAID_AUTORUN ioctrl for initrd kernels to be able to start up
   autostart arrays.

code is cleaner and simpler now. The patch removes a total of 7 lines,
while adding a new feature :-)

Dave, does this patch do the trick for you? (raid-2.4.1-B1 is against the
2.4.1-pre11 kernel.)
