Paul Clements 9b1d1dac18 [PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmap
Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied.
The interface is write-only, and is used as follows:

echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap

(dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk
bitmaps of array md2)

echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap

(dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap)

This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to
combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a
secondary server has taken over the array).  By combining the bitmaps on
the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the
list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).
