> Exposing the binary blob which is the md 'super-block' via sysfs doesn't
> really fit with the whole sysfs model, and ever since commit
> 8118a859dc7abd873193986c77a8d9bdb877adc8 ("sysfs: fix off-by-one error
> in fill_read_buffer()") it doesn't actually work at all (as the size of
> the blob is often one page).
>
> (akpm: as in, fs/sysfs/file.c:fill_read_buffer() goes BUG)
>
> So just remove it altogether. It isn't really useful.
