Pushing this in the kernel without updating dm-raid is kind of

Dmraid is not the only potential user. Mdadm will also care about
this as I have seen a report that points to a user having what looks
like an HPA issue with an Intel(R) Matrix array. So, there are two
immediate users for this interface. Heinz is the right person to poke
for dmraid updates. I'll handle the mdadm update.

Alright, then. With Jeff's reluctant ack and scheduled mdadm update,
I guess this one can go upstream. I'll refresh the patchset and
repost. Umm... BTW do I have Heinz's mail address right?

The email addr is correct according to dmraid-current.tar.bz2 (dated Sep 2008), at least. I don't have any better info.
