This is with a 2.4 kernel, isn't it. The md driver is incorrectly interpreting an ioctl that it doesn't recognise as an obsolete ioctl. In fact it is a new ioctl that 2.4 doesn't know about (I suspect it is GET_BITMAP_FILE). The message should probably be removed from 2.4, but as 2.4 is in deep-maintenance mode, I suspect that is unlikely....
