The patch titled md/bitmap: use set_bit etc for bitmap page attributes has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is md-bitmap-use-set_bit-etc-for-bitmap-page-attributes.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> In particular, this means that we use 4 bits per page instead of a whole unsigned long.
