    Pull md updates from NeilBrown:
     "It's been a busy cycle for md - lots of fun stuff here..  if you like
      this kind of thing :-)
    
      Main features:
       - RAID10 arrays can be reshaped - adding and removing devices and
         changing chunks (not 'far' array though)
       - allow RAID5 arrays to be reshaped with a backup file (not tested
         yet, but the priciple works fine for RAID10).
       - arrays can be reshaped while a bitmap is present - you no longer
         need to remove it first
       - SSSE3 support for RAID6 syndrome calculations
    
      and of course a number of minor fixes etc."
