Subject: md: remove the 'super' sysfs attribute from devices in an 'md' array
From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>
Exposing the binary blob which is the md 'super-block' via sysfs
doesn't really fit with the sysfs model, and since commit
8118a859dc7abd873193986c77a8d9bdb877adc8
it doesn't actually work at all (as the size of the blob is often one page).
(akpm: as in, fs/sysfs/file.c:fill_read_buffer() goes BUG)
So just remove it altogether. It isn't really useful.
