[lots of good stuff]

Guys.  I'm leaving for a 2-week vacation (I had no vacation
for 2 years in a row, and can't stand anymore).  I'll try to
review this stuff while being in a sea beach, maybe will commit
something.

But to me, much more important issue is the timing issue we have
in initramfs.  Namely, there are a few known valid setups which
does not work with mdadm currently.  #675452 and #664581 are two
examples of this, arrays will not start if any of the component
devices are on USB storage which is slow to initialize, and so
on.  There are a few possible solutions there, but it is all quite
fragile and touching very important area... So, if you do have some
time and are willing to help, that's where to look at :)

Thank you for your patience and efforts!
