Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md

* 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (27 commits)
  md: add 'recovery_start' per-device sysfs attribute
  md: rcu_read_lock() walk of mddev->disks in md_do_sync()
  md: integrate spares into array at earliest opportunity.
  md: move compat_ioctl handling into md.c
  md: revise Kconfig help for MD_MULTIPATH
  md: add MODULE_DESCRIPTION for all md related modules.
  raid: improve MD/raid10 handling of correctable read errors.
  md/raid10: print more useful messages on device failure.
  md/bitmap: update dirty flag when bitmap bits are explicitly set.
  md: Support write-intent bitmaps with externally managed metadata.
  md/bitmap: move setting of daemon_lastrun out of bitmap_read_sb
  md: support updating bitmap parameters via sysfs.
  md: factor out parsing of fixed-point numbers
  md: support bitmap offset appropriate for external-metadata arrays.
  md: remove needless setting of thread->timeout in raid10_quiesce
  md: change daemon_sleep to be in 'jiffies' rather than 'seconds'.
  md: move offset, daemon_sleep and chunksize out of bitmap structure
  md: collect bitmap-specific fields into one structure.
  md/raid1: add takeover support for raid5->raid1
  md: add honouring of suspend_{lo,hi} to raid1.

-	  Multipath-IO is the ability of certain devices to address the same
-	  physical disk over multiple 'IO paths'. The code ensures that such
-	  paths can be defined and handled at runtime, and ensures that a
-	  transparent failover to the backup path(s) happens if a IO errors
-	  arrives on the primary path.
+	  MD_MULTIPATH provides a simple multi-path personality for use
+	  the MD framework.  It is not under active development.  New
+	  projects should consider using DM_MULTIPATH which has more
+	  features and more testing.
 
 	  If unsure, say N.
