We will shortly allow md devices with no gendisk (they are attached to a dm-target instead). That will cause mdname() to return 'mdX'. There is one place where mdname really needs to be unique: when creating the name for a slab cache. So in that case, if there is no gendisk, you the address of the mddev formatted in HEX to provide a unique name.
