Subject: [PULL REQUEST] md - various fixed for 2.6.30


Hi Linus,
 a few more md fixes turned up through on going testing.

 A couple involve refining the user-space interface (sysfs) so that
 some of the recent features can be used reliably.

 The 'bitmap' fix isn't strictly a bug fix, but is reduces a fair
 amount of CPU wastage.

 The "don't use locked_ioctl" patch is again strictly not a bug fix,
 but it is so trivial it didn't seem worth leaving it for .31.
 It just tells the block layer that md doesn't need lock_kernel, even
 for ioctls.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
