Linus, This is a resend of a patch that probably got lost a week or so ago. (It is also more gramatically correct). If md.c has two raid arrays that need to be resynced, and they share a physical device, then the two resyncs are serialised. However the message printed says something about "overlapping" which confuses and worries people needlessly. This patch improves the message.
