Following 9 patches for md are suitable for 2.5.26.  
Yes, I really should have submitted them to -mm earlier, but I've been
on leave, sorry.

First patch is a bug fix that should go in 2.6.25.stable. 
It has been copied to stable@kernel.org. 

Others are mostly related to "external" metadata support.  i.e. a userspace
program does all the management of metadata, and needs to communicate
with the kernel to do its job properly.
