Re: [PATCH] old+new RAID for 2.2.17+

i strongly disagree. It's a nightmare to have three variants of the same code at once. (mdtools, raidtools and raidtools2.) This mess has been cleaned up in 2.4, and we shouldnt touch 2.2's RAID code beyond bugfixes. This is not support for 'old hardware', it's support for the very same thing.

[PATCH] old+new RAID for 2.2.17+

Alan, would you consider the following for 2.2.19? (It compiles but I can't test functionality as I don't run md.) Inspired by Matthew Kirkwood's patch to move RAID to drivers/md/, I've merged this with RAID 0.90 and 2.2.17. The idea here is not to disturb the old RAID, so the two can coexist
