Yes... well... uhmm... how did I miss that??
I would actually rather call it from md_check_recovery (which is
called from raid1d). I should rename md_check_recovery at some
stage as it does more than it's name says.

I don't agree with this bit. The BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN bit needs to be
cleared before processing it rather than after as the current code
does. However I see that this causes it to ignore all but the first
bit of the page, so I have fixed that with:

Yep, thanks.

Yes.

events_lo really should be the low part of the counter and it is for
me.... something funny must be happening for you...

I don't like this. I don't mdadm to include the kernel raid headers.
I want it to use it's own.

I wonder why I don't get an error.. What error do you get?
