This is probably an improvement, but it is a long way from a real
solution.
It requires all the working devices to have device numbers that were
thought to be in the array.
Suppose that you have as JBOD* at /dev/sda, and a RAID at /dev/sdb
/dev/sdc /dev/sdd
Then you take the JBOD out, the RAID disks will appear at
/dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc, and with or without your patch, you will
not be able to start the array properly - it will never find /dev/sda.
