But what if we subsequently add a different device to that array which
uses a different protection format.   Would we be able to tell the
filesystem that integrity protection isn't available any more?
Or can we detect if the filesystem is using integrity protection, and
reject the new device if it doesn't match?

In either case, some extra handling is needed in bind_rdev_to_array.
